Babland Farmhouse

Babland Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1830, as indicated by the datestone. The front is made of rendered rubble, while the rest is rubble that was previously slate-hung. It features brick stacks and a slurried slate roof with box eaves. The building has a symmetrical central stair hall plan with a hipped roof, a central valley at the back, a projecting stair turret, and an additional single-storey wing for the kitchen or scullery that has a very large gable stack.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with part of a basement. The front façade has three windows, all of which are sixteen-pane sashes, and a central five-panel part-glazed door with a segmental head, located in a glazed conservatory porch. There are double octagonal stacks at the eaves on the left and two sets on the right. On the right return, there are steps leading down to a basement door with a segmental head and a large external stack. The left return features a two-light window on the lower left and a centrally placed eaves window with voussoirs. The back of the house includes a sixteen-pane sash window and a centre-hung two-light glazing bar casement, with a projection at the centre that has a low-pitched pent roof. Attached to the back on the left is an extension that has a sash window with a brick segmental arch and a very large gable stack.

The interior has only been partly inspected but includes original doors, window shutters on the ground floor, and a stick stair. This farmhouse is considered an unusually grand example of its type.
