Collytown Farmhouse Including Attached Garden Wall At West End Incorporating Bee Boles

Collytown Farmhouse, dating from the early to mid 18th century, is now divided into two separate residences. The farmhouse is constructed of rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with a hipped slate roof. It features a rendered stack at the left end and an axial stack. The building has an unusual transitional 18th-century layout, forming an L-shape and consisting of one and a half rooms deep. Each side of the wide entrance passage, which contains the staircase, has a principal room. The right-hand room includes a fireplace in the rear right corner, sharing the axial stack with a narrow kitchen at the right end. A salting-house or dairy wing, added in the early 19th century, extends from the rear of the kitchen.

The farmhouse is two stories high and has a four-window range with 19th-century style fenestration. The windows are two-light casements with six panes per light, while the ground floor features three-light casements with eight panes per light. A 20th-century door is present at the entrance.

The L-shaped front garden wall, which extends from the left end of the main range and has capping, incorporates nine step-stopped bee-boles—two on the south-facing wall and seven on the longer east-facing wall, all of which are intact.

Inside, the fireplace in the right-hand room has a rounded back to the hearth and a chamfered lintel. There is an 18th-century two-panel door leading to the passage. The kitchen fireplace also features a chamfered lintel and a bread oven. A small panelled cupboard door with 18th-century hinges is located in the chamber above the right-hand principal room. The staircase dates from the 19th century, and one two-light window at the rear retains its rectangular leaded panes.
