Description
Southbury Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with an extension from the 18th century. It is constructed from coursed and random rubble limestone, featuring dressed quoins, architraves, and sills, along with ashlar chimneys and a plain tile roof. The 18th-century section is two storeys high with an attic, arranged around a central hall with a staircase and one room on each side. At the back, a two-storey 17th-century wing projects to create a T-plan, with a 20th-century addition in the angle on the east side.
The front has three windows and a central doorway, which has been altered to include a Venetian timber porch hood and two small side windows. The doorway's architrave is beaded and features a keystone. The windows are mostly sash types, with plain architraves and sills, and three roof dormers, the outer two having flat roofs. The chimneys at the gable ends have paired shafts with moulded caps and skirts. There is a sash window on the west end, and high in the gable, a single light window with recessed ovolo moulding. The 17th-century wing has scattered fenestration, with recessed chamfered mullioned windows of two and three lights, some of which have hood mouldings and have been altered in the 20th century.
