Ravenshill Farmhouse

Ravenshill Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century. It is built of English bond brick with a platband and features a timber-framed rear wing. The roof is hipped and covered with old plain tiles, and there is a brick ridge stack. The building has a two-room plan with a central lobby entry and a rear right service wing. It is two storeys high and has a three-window range with segmental brick arches over 1980s three-light windows, including a central blocked doorway. There are flat brick arches over a two-light wood-mullioned window and a 1980s plank door set in a beaded architrave at an inserted doorway on the right. The doorway to the cellar was rebuilt in the early 19th century. The rear elevation features two one-light windows with heavy pegged frames and a three-light wooden diamond-mullioned window. The timber-framed rear wing consists of four by three panels. Attached at an obtuse angle to the right is a 1980s brick and tile link block that connects to two early 19th-century one-storey stone and tile service ranges.

Inside, the ground floor has stone flags while the first floor has elm boards. Stop-chamfered beams run throughout, and there are original plank and ribbed doors with wrought-iron fittings. The central back-to-back fireplace has chamfered timber lintels over open fireplaces on both the ground floor and first floor to the left. The winder stair has been repositioned, and the main first-floor chamber to the left has a former closet over the front lobby. The roof features collar trusses with chamfered trenched purlins.
