Description

Goldwick Farmhouse is a mid-18th century farmhouse with a small 19th-century addition at the rear. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone and features a Cotswold stone slate roof with three stone stacks that have flat moulded cornices. The building is L-shaped with an additional small wing at the left rear corner, standing two storeys high with four bays and three windows. The windows are three and four-light leaded casements, with straight voussoir arches on the left and a plain lintel on the right.

The third bay, right of centre, has a small Regency balcony on the first floor, which is glazed with some coloured etched glass in the margins and has a swept lead roof. This balcony is supported by an elaborate wrought iron trelliswork porch from the same period. The front door is a six-panel design, with the top four panels glazed and the lower two bolection moulded. On the ground floor, there is a three-light leaded casement to the left, a full-length fixed window in bay two with etched blue and red glass in the margins, and three-light 20th-century French doors to the right of the porch.

At the eaves level, there are six round tie bar ends with a six-point star, which is also repeated on the rear facade. The rear features a six-panel door aligned with the front door, where the top four panels are fielded and the lower two are flush. This door has a large cambered wooden hood supported by large brackets, and above it is a round-headed window with Gothick intersecting leading. The rear wing, which was a former stable block, has an artificial stone slate roof and includes a round-arched passageway linking it to the house, a central round-arched door, and two flanking three-light leaded casements.

The 19th-century two-storey addition has twin narrow gables, each with a small Venetian-style window on the first floor and even smaller ones on each side, awkwardly set into the stonework beneath a small pedimented parapet with a ball finial. Inside, the farmhouse features a fine timber dog-leg staircase with turned balusters and a large fireplace with an original timber bressumer in the front room to the left of the porch, which has a large lateral stack.
