Description
Town Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century or 17th century. It is constructed of granite rubble and features slate-hanging at the front, with a slated roof. The building has a granite ashlar chimneystack with stone weatherings located at the center of the ridge. There is a large rendered stack that projects from the left gable wall and a smaller rendered stack, likely from the 19th century, on the right gable. The layout is probably a three-room and cross-passage plan, with the hall stack backing onto the passage. The farmhouse has two storeys and a four-window front, featuring wood casements with glazing bars. The two right-hand second-storey windows have been developed into dormer gables with 19th-century barge-boards. The main doorway, which is off-center to the right, has a pent-roofed wood porch. There is a similar porch, but with solid rendered walls, at the doorway on the left-hand end. The interior has not been inspected.
