Tanhouse Farmhouse

Tanhouse Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century. It is constructed of brick and sandstone rubble with a plain tile roof. Originally, it had a three-room plan with a projecting stair turret at the back. Later additions include a two-storey block on the left side. The main stack is positioned to the right of the center. The road-facing side features a steep gabled roof and is three storeys tall with part of a basement. The windows consist of two 2-light casements beneath simple drip-stones, along with 3-light casements on the first floor and in the gables. The former main entrance, which is a plank door set in a recess on the right, is no longer in use. The return gable on the south front, to the left, is three storeys high and has a single-windowed design with 3-light casements above a late 20th-century pair of doors. Inside, there is a solid oak newel stair that rises through two floors in a semi-circular well to the square turret, and remnants of a muntin and panel screen can be found at the first landing. The building features chamfered and stopped beams.
