Description
Heggadon Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around the mid-19th century. It is constructed of stone rubble and was rendered at the front in the late 20th century. The building features a hipped slate roof with deep eaves and brick stacks at both ends. It has a double depth plan, consisting of two rooms wide with a central stair hall. There is a single-storey lean-to at the right end, which extends around part of the rear and is likely an early 20th-century addition. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a three-bay symmetrical front. This includes a central porch with a simple moulded entablature supported by granite Tuscan columns at the front and timber pilasters at the rear. The front door has ten panels, and the original windows are 16-pane sashes, although the ground floor window on the right is a 20th-century copy. The rear door features an 8-pane rectangular fanlight, and there is a central rear stair window with an elliptical arched head, stone voussoirs, and margin glazing. The interior has not been inspected, but contemporary joinery is known to survive.
