Borough Farm

Borough Farm is a late 17th-century farmhouse, now a detached house. It is located on Castle Street in King’s Stanley. The building is constructed of coursed rubble limestone, with rebuilt rubble chimneys and a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high with an attic, and has a lean-to addition to the rear, which is not of special interest. The front façade features three gables and a three-window arrangement. All windows are chamfered mullioned casements with hood moulds; they are three-light windows on the ground and upper floors, and two-light to the attic. Small oval windows with lozenge decoration are set high in the gables. A central 19th-century doorway is flanked by single-light windows, all under a linking stepped hood mould. The doorway has a plank door with strap hinges. The north gable end has an off-centre single-light casement window to the upper floor and attic, both with hood moulds. The south gable end mirrors the front with similar single-window fenestration. The rear gable on the left has a single-light casement window matching the front. The lean-to addition to the right is hipped at its centre and contains a two-light casement window on each floor to the left side, with timber casements throughout. The gable on the right has an off-centre projecting chimney with a rebuilt top. The interior was not inspected. Borough Farm represents a good example of a late 17th-century house.
