Bengrove Farm

This is a detached farmhouse dating from the mid-19th century. It is constructed of incised rendered brick with a concrete tile roof and brick stacks. The main rectangular section of the house is accompanied by wings extending to the rear on both the right and left sides. A single-storey outbuilding, not of particular interest, is located at an angle to the rear right-hand wing. The main house has three storeys and an attic, with a two-light dormer window illuminating the attic. The front facade has three windows; it features 12-pane sashes on the ground and first floors, and 9-pane sashes on the second floor. Pilasters with moulded capitals are located at the corners and linked by flattened arches on either side of the central windows. A 20th-century door is set within an open-sided porch with square limestone columns, moulded capitals, and a flat roof with a moulded stone margin. The three-storey wing at the rear right has two-light windows with segmental-headed surrounds. The single-storey wing at the rear left has a canted bay window in the left-hand wall. Bengrove Farm was built to replace Great Coverdean, a large manor house of medieval origins which stood nearby and was demolished between 1850 and 1855.
