Collingsdown Farmhouse

Collingsdown Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the early 19th century, with earlier origins from the 17th or 18th century. It was extended at the rear in the late 19th century. The building features colourwashed render over cob and stone, a gabled slate roof, and brick end stacks. It has a three-unit plan and is two storeys high with a three-window range. A late 19th-century half-glazed door is set in a central porch. There are flat rendered arches above late 19th-century horned plate-glass sash windows on the ground floor, and late 19th-century casements with glazing bars on the first floor. The late 19th-century rear extension is constructed from coursed slatestone rubble with yellow brick dressings. To the left, there is an early 19th-century outshut and a 20th-century extension. Inside, there is a plain beam and an open fireplace in the ground-floor room to the left, a late 19th-century straight-flight staircase, an early 19th-century plank door on the first floor, and an early 19th-century A-frame roof, with collars nailed onto the principal rafters.
