Description

Baggator Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse currently used as a youth training centre, with a 19th-century addition and alterations. The building features granite rubble walls, a gable-ended slate and tarred slate roof on the older part, and a hipped slate roof on the 19th-century section. There is a large rendered rubble axial stack on the older part, while the 19th-century range has two rendered stacks, one lateral at the rear and one at the right-hand end.

The current layout is L-shaped, with the larger older range and the 19th-century addition projecting to the rear on the right-hand side. The original plan of the older range is unclear, but it includes a heated room on the right and three rooms on the left, which may have originally served as a passage and shippon. The addition, likely built in the mid to late 19th century, has a two-room plan.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with an asymmetrical four-window front. The two right-hand windows are located in the end wall of the 19th-century block, and all windows are 20th-century two and three-light casements with small panes. There is a 20th-century panel door to the right of centre, a blocked doorway to its left, and the left-hand window is in another blocked doorway. The 19th-century block projects to the rear from the right-hand end and has a two-window front.

Attached to the left end of the older range is a long two-storey barn from around the mid-19th century, which features two doorways towards the centre, loading openings above, small windows to the right, and three slits to the left of the doors. The interior was inaccessible during the survey and appears to have been significantly modernised, but it may still conceal original features. The building is situated in a remote location and has considerable landscape value.
