Description

Forty Farmhouse is a farmhouse, likely from the 17th century, which was refronted to the south in the early 19th century. It is constructed of rubble stone with a stone slate roof, featuring stone end stacks and a large external stone stack on the rear range. The building is a single range with a central rear wing, a lean-to, and additional rear extensions. The main range has two storeys. The south front has projecting eaves and is faced in incised render. There are three windows with 12-pane sashes, and two similar windows on the ground floor flanking a central glazed porch from the 20th century, which has a raking roof and a half-glazed door behind it. The rear of the farmhouse features 3-light casements with timber lintels, and the main entrance is located in the lean-to against the wall, which has an external stack and a door with four flush panels that have raised centres.
