Description
Morcombe Farmhouse is a farmhouse and former barn, now part of the house, built in 1764, as indicated by a datestone. The structure is made of limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and quoins, featuring a roughcast rendered front and a stone slate roof. It has ashlar chimney stacks with moulded caps. The building is two stories high with an attic, containing a room on either side of a central staircase hall. The barn runs parallel to the house at the back, and there is a wing at the south end that projects beyond the barn. There are 19th and 20th century additions at the south end.
The east front is asymmetrical with three windows; there are two 16-pane sash windows on either side of the front doorway and three 8-pane sash windows on the upper floor. All windows appear to be 19th century replacements and have plain stone architraves. There is one off-centre hipped roof attic dormer. A stepped chimney stack is located at the north end facing the road, featuring paired shafts. The barn and back wing have irregular fenestration, with all timber casements and timber lintels. A date stone on the back wing has the initials WW, which are said to refer to William Welch, an 18th century landowner in this part of the parish.
