Canns Farmhouse

Canns Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around the middle of the 19th century. It is constructed of volcanic trap stone rubble with a hipped slate roof, divided into two spans at the rear, and brick end stacks. The original plan was likely a double-depth, four-room layout, including a central stair hall and two principal rooms at the front, and service rooms to the rear. A small projection is situated on the rear wall, and there is a later single-storey brick lean-to extension at the rear.

The symmetrical front facade has three bays and deep eaves supported by paired brackets. The central front door is a six-panel design, featuring a rectangular fanlight with diamond glazing bars, sheltered by a flat canopy carried on brackets. The window above the front door is an eight-pane sash. The other windows are tripartite sashes, with eight panes in the central light and four panes in the outer lights. The interior remains uninspected, but internal features from the same period may be present. The farmhouse is notably complete externally and represents a very good example of a mid-19th-century farmhouse.
