Description

Norleigh Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1850-1860. It features stone rubble walls and a gable-ended slate roof, with projecting stone rubble stacks at the gable ends of the main range and an axial stone stack on the rear wing. The building has a two-storey structure with an asymmetrical four-window front and a two-storey gabled porch located to the right of the center. The windows are all 19th-century, with two-light stone mullions and hoodmoulds, except for the left-hand ground floor window, which is a four-light window that incorporates old stained glass heraldic shields. The porch has a four-centred moulded arch and a stone heraldic plaque at the top of the gable. There is a 19th-century plank door leading to the inner porch doorway. The rear wing also features complete 19th-century fenestration with two-light stone mullions, although these do not have hoodmoulds. Inside, the room arrangement appears to be relatively unaltered, but there are no notable internal features apart from the old glass.
