Description
Longwood Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It features rendered cob walls and a thatched roof, which is gabled to the right and hipped to the left. The building has two brick stacks, one located at the right gable end and another axial stack. The original layout consisted of two heated rooms, possibly with a small central service room, and there is an outbuilding or store at the left-hand end that has only external access.
The farmhouse is two storeys high with a regular three-window front. The two right-hand first-floor windows and the left-hand ground floor window are 19th-century casements with pegged frames and square section mullions. There is a mid-20th-century metal frame casement on the ground floor to the right, and an early 20th-century casement on the first floor to the left. All windows are three-light, except for the two-light central window on the first floor. The outbuilding at the left-hand end features a 19th-century plank door. Inside, the fireplace in the right-hand room has a chamfered wooden lintel.
