Pugsley Farmhouse

Pugsley Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse, with possibly earlier elements hidden within, that was remodeled and extended at the rear in the 19th century, with some 20th-century alterations. The building features painted rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with a slate roof that has gable ends. The hall and inner room section on the right has an asbestos slate roof. There is a front lateral hall stack with offsets that has been heightened in brick, a rendered shaft to a stone rubble stack at the right gable end, and a small axial rendered stack heating the lower end.

The layout consists of three rooms with a cross-passage that contains the staircase. The hall and inner room are situated to the right, with a two-storey late 19th-century dairy wing added to the rear of the hall. To the left of the passage is the former kitchen, which has been converted to be part of the dwelling, along with an additional range extending to the left. This range includes a large unheated room with external front access and a former cider-house, now used as a storage shed at the left end. The impressive length of the building shows no visible straight joints, and the eaves have been heightened, obscuring any early development due to the replacement of the roof structure and internal remodeling in the 19th century.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a six-window range overall. The 20th-century fenestration includes four three-light windows, each with two panes per light, and two two-light casements at the right end. There is a three-light casement in the two-storey hall bay, which is built out in line with the stack. The cross-passage and former outbuilding towards the left end have plank doors.

Inside, there is a chamfered cross ceiling beam in the hall and a panelled door leading to a small cupboard in the solid cob wall partition between the hall and inner room. The inner room features a chamfered axial ceiling beam that has been hacked to accommodate plaster. A late 19th-century slate chimneypiece is present, along with a creamery niche on the rear wall of the former kitchen. The 19th-century joinery is mostly intact, and the roof structure dates from the same period.
