Description
Compton Farm is a 18th-century building that was formerly two cottages but is now one. It is constructed of rendered limestone rubble and has a concrete tile roof, with a 20th-century dressed stone chimney. The building has a 'T'-shaped plan and is 1½ storeys high, featuring a symmetrical facade with two windows. On the first floor, there are two Cotswold dormers, each with three-light stone-mullioned casements and stopped hoods. The ground floor has similar casements. There is a recess for a central doorway, which is now blocked, and it has a stopped hood and a segmental step. A similar blocked doorway is found in the left gable end, along with a blocked two-light window with a stopped hood above it. At the right gable end, there is a porch with a 20th-century plank door. The rear wing has single light windows with stopped hoods, and there is a 20th-century axial chimney. The gable ends and dormers feature flat coping. Inside, there are two open fireplaces with bressumer beams.
