Haskins Farmhouse

Haskins Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from 1857, likely incorporating an earlier core. The structure is built of plastered stone rubble, possibly with some cob, featuring brick stacks and chimneyshafts, and a slate roof that was formerly thatched. The original plan comprised a three-room-and-through-passage layout facing south-west. The parlour, at the left end, has a gable-end stack, followed by the passage which houses the main stair. The dining room has an axial stack, backing onto the kitchen, which itself has a gable-end stack. While the architectural details appear to be from 1857, the layout suggests a more original foundation. The farmhouse is two storeys high, with secondary service rooms at the right end.

The front of the building displays five windows with original casements and a decorative margin-pane pattern of glazing bars. The left two windows, serving the principal rooms, are symmetrically arranged around the front doorway. The ground floor windows in this section are French windows with boarded lower sections, harmonizing with the other windows. The doorway includes a part-glazed four-panel door and a shallow, flat-roofed porch with slender piers, scrolled sides, and a front arch; the door is likely a replacement. A six-panel door to the rear of the passage is original. Original casements are retained at ground floor level only. The roof is gable-ended, and the left-end chimneyshaft displays a datestone marking 1857.

The interior contains 19th-century joinery details. The kitchen fireplace is large and constructed of brick with a plain oak lintel, incorporating a substantial oven. The roof is tall and steeply pitched, supported by a series of A-frame trusses with spiked lap-jointed collars. The farmhouse is considered particularly attractive due to its distinctive 19th-century windows, likely crafted by a local workshop.
