Description
Pattard Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the mid to late 17th century, with remodeling in the 18th century and 19th-century additions. It features plastered rubble walls, some cob, and a gable-ended slate roof. There is a brick stack at the left gable end and an axial stack at the rear wing, along with a stone rubble stack with a drip course at the right gable end.
The main range has a two-room-and-cross-passage plan, with both rooms heated. The larger room on the left may have been upgraded to a parlour in the mid-18th century. The 19th-century wing added behind the right-hand room likely serves as a kitchen and service room.
The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical three-window front. The left-hand window on the first floor and the two left-hand windows on the ground floor are late 18th or early 19th-century 12-pane hornless sash windows. The centre and right windows on the first floor are late facsimiles, while the right-hand ground floor window is probably 18th century and features paired 12-pane hornless sashes. There is a four-panel 19th-century door to the right of centre, set behind a 20th-century open-fronted porch. The building has a dentilled eaves cornice and a wing behind the right-hand end.
The interior was inaccessible during the survey, but the left-hand room is known to have complete 18th-century panelling with a chair rail and fielded panel shutters on the windows. Stone stairs are also reported to exist. The 18th-century panelled rooms are rare survivals in modest houses of this type, and the farmhouse retains a very unspoilt external appearance.
