Worthy Farmhouse

Worthy Farmhouse is a house, originally a farmhouse, dating from around 1820 to 1830. It is constructed of slatestone rubble with a hipped roof covered in slate and asbestos slate. Brick stacks are located at each end of the building, and a wide projecting rubble stack with a brick shaft sits at the rear. The house follows a double-depth plan, with two main rooms at the front divided by a central passage leading to a stairhall. Service rooms, including a kitchen, dairy, and pantry, are located at the rear, and these were slightly modified in the late 20th century.

The symmetrical front elevation has three windows, featuring 16-pane sashes. The original windows are on the first floor; those on the ground floor were replaced in the late 20th century. A central porch with a gabled roof, supported by chamfered wooden posts, provides access to a 6-panel door, both of which are 20th-century replicas. Further 12-pane hornless sash windows are found in the left-hand end wall and at the rear, some original and some renewed in the late 20th century. A particularly notable window is the original 20-pane sash window in the rear kitchen.

Inside, original joinery remains, including 6-panel doors and a gracefully curving staircase.
