Description
The Folly Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the early 18th century. It is constructed from random coursed rubble stone with flush quoins and features a hipped stone slate roof with a parapet and two large dressed stone ridge stacks. The building has a square shape with a single-storey wing on the right side, and it stands two storeys tall with an attic.
The front of the farmhouse has five windows, which are small 12-pane sashes set in plain reveals. The windows have very large flush lintels and keystones above the first, third, and fifth bays. On the ground floor, there are four similar windows with irregular keystones, and a central porch that was likely added in the early 19th century. This porch features a moulded doorcase, corner piers, and a frieze with a pediment and moulded cornice. The outer door is made up of six flush panels, while the inner door is a half-glazed four-panel design.
On the left side of the building, there are two widely spaced tripartite sashes on both the ground and first floors. The right side of the farmhouse, which faces the service courtyard, has openings with cambered heads that contain casements and sashes. Both side returns of the building feature two hipped dormers, each with paired casements.
