Description
Ford Farmhouse is a farmhouse that underwent a significant remodelling in the late 19th century by the Bedford estate, transforming an earlier house from the 17th century or earlier. The main block is constructed of dressed stone brought to course and features a slate roof that is hipped at the left end and gabled at the right end. There are four chimneys: one stone stack at the right end, a tall stack at the left end, a rendered axial stack on the ridge, and a central rear lateral stack. The roof is adorned with 19th-century crested ridge tiles.
The house is arranged around a narrow central courtyard and has two storeys. The front is asymmetrical with five windows, and the front door is located on the right side, below a rectangular fanlight and a cambered stone arch. To the left of the front door is a canted bay window featuring a sash with glazing bars in each bay. The left and right-hand windows have paired 12-pane sashes set under segmental stone arches and a stone drip ledge. On the first floor, there are four windows that are gabled half-dormers, slate-hung in the gables, with 16-pane sashes. The interior has not been inspected.
