Description
Ingleside Farmhouse is a former rectory that has been converted into a house. Its origins date back to medieval times, with significant developments in the 17th century, 18th century, and early to mid to late 19th century. The building features painted brickwork in Flemish bond on its three-storey wing and has a tiled roof. It is designed in an L-shape, with wings that are one room deep, standing three storeys on the left side and two storeys on the right.
The entrance facade is located at the angle of the wings. On the left side, there is a sash window with a flat rubbed brick arch above it. The right wing projects forward and features a full-height, single-storey gabled porch from the mid to late 19th century. This porch has a brick base, a half-glazed door with side-lights, and a half-glazed truss with leaded lights on the sides, complemented by plain bargeboards. Inside, there is a six-panel front door, with the top two panels being glazed, and a rectangular fanlight above that has a St. Andrew's cross at the center and marginal lights on the sides.
On the first floor, there are two nine-pane sash windows, with heads similar to those below. The second floor has similar windows but with six panes. A gable chimney is located on the left ridge, while the right projection has a catslide roof extending to the right of the main gable. There is a small chimney at the end of the right wing, which is half the height of the main block. A lean-to extends across the gable at eaves level. The left return features one six-pane sash window per floor, with the lower window having a cambered brick arch.
A tall, tapering brick chimney is positioned on the ridge, and a wing wall links the ridge to the three-storey block, with the roof beyond being hipped. Internally, the right wing has a hollow-chamfered beam on the ground floor. Beyond this room, there are two aisle posts that suggest it was once an open hall, linked at the first floor by an arcade plate. Mortices for braces remain, but there is no evidence of any infill. Most of the tie beams are intact, with a curved brace between one and its main post. The current external wall has been built within the presumed aisle. The chimney has a large, square stone base, and the roof above has been rebuilt, featuring a truss in front of the chimney tie beam, collar, and angled struts. Some reused rafters show evidence of smoke blackening, making this a rare survival of a medieval house.
