Northcote Farm Cottage Northcote Farmhouse

Northcote Farmhouse and Northcote Farm Cottage is a farmhouse that was formerly a manor house, now serving as a house and cottage with an attached barn. The main structure dates from the 16th century or earlier and features some 15th or 16th-century elements, possibly a solar, in a two-storey building that is set at right angles to the right-hand rear. It has a single depth plan and consists of two storeys with three cells. The roof of the main house has been raised and covered with asbestos tiles at the rear, while the front is finished with slates. The building is constructed of rubble stone with gable ends and stone stacks. A plaque on the left-hand cemented stack, marked "RR 1737," indicates the date of alterations.

At the rear, there is a tall rubble stone stack that rises from the wall, featuring an inward sloping cap above weathering, along with various outshuts of differing heights, one of which was formerly a dairy. The front of the house has four timber sash windows with glazing bars, each containing 18 panes, one of which has horns, situated above two inserted French windows. A 20th-century porch has been added, along with a sash window with glazing bars at the upper end of the front. The rear outshut has irregularly spaced four-pane timber windows on both the ground and first floors to the left of the door.

To the right rear, there is a 19th-century barn built of rubble stone with a slate roof. This barn features a cart entrance with a timber lintel and a pair of timber doors, as well as a loft door to the right. Between the house and the barn, there is a two-storey building that contains an open raised cruck couple with moulded cavetto and cyma blades, which reduce to square sections above a shouldered joint. This structure has a high cambered and moulded collar, possibly with a remaining strut, forming a four-centred arch. The building also includes a diagonally set threaded ridge and three tiers of unmoulded purlins. Inside, there is a Tudor arched moulded timber fireplace beam on the first floor, backing onto the rear of the house, with a door to the left of the fireplace. The cruck may have been reset.
