Buckland Farmhouse

Buckland Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with a later 17th-century addition, significant remodelling in the 19th century, and a 20th-century addition. The structure features rendered cob and rubble walls, topped with a gable-ended asbestos slate roof. There are three rendered brick stacks: one at each gable end and one offset from the ridge along the axial line.

Originally, the farmhouse had a three-room-and-through-passage layout, with the lower end situated to the right. The hall stack backs onto the passage, while the lower room is heated by the gable-end stack, and the inner room remains unheated. In the later part of the 17th century, the house was extended with an additional heated room at the higher end. During the mid-19th century, the farmhouse underwent considerable remodelling, which included widening the passage to create a stair hall and adding a new passage along the rear that connects the hall to the left-hand end room. A 20th-century addition has been built at the rear of the centre.

The exterior of the farmhouse is two storeys high with an asymmetrical five-window front. The left-hand end is recessed and features a 20th-century three-light casement window. The remaining windows are mid-19th-century three-light wooden mullion windows with chamfered edges. To the right of centre, there is a 20th-century glazed porch that leads to a mid-19th-century six-panel door.

Inside, the former hall displays plastered chamfered ceiling beams, and the fireplace in the left-hand end room has a chamfered wooden lintel. The interior retains much of its 19th-century joinery, including panelled doors and cupboards, as well as the stairs and arches that lead off the stair hall.
