Description
Neadon Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely underwent remodelling in the early 19th century, with possible origins dating back to the 17th century. It features granite rubble walls that are lightly rendered and has a 20th-century interlocking concrete tile roof with gable ends and deep eaves. The building includes 20th-century brick chimney stacks, with an old drip-course visible at the base of the left end shaft. The layout is a double depth plan consisting of three rooms and a stair-hall situated between the left and centre rooms, along with small service rooms at the rear. The right end appears to be a kitchen, with a single-room dairy wing located behind it. There are gable stacks at either end and one axial stack. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a symmetrical arrangement of three windows on the left side, with a wider spaced window on the right. The windows are 16-pane sashes without horns, dating to the early 19th century; however, the ground and first-floor windows on the right and the ground floor window to the right of centre have been replaced with facsimiles that include horns. In the centre of the three-window section, there is a round-headed doorway that contains a 20th-century plank door, above which is a fanlight featuring restored radial glazing bars. The rear of the farmhouse has a variety of 19th and 20th-century casements that are asymmetrically placed. The dairy has a low-pitched gable-ended roof with small openings in the apex of each gable.
Inside, much of the early 19th-century joinery remains intact, including an open well staircase located at the rear of the entry hall, which features a wreathed handrail, stick balustrades, and turned newels, some of which have small finials. Panelled doors and contemporary architraves are preserved, although the chimneypieces have been removed. Some doors are fielded panelled and may date back to the 18th century. At the service end, there are old plank doors with spear-headed hinges. The roof, dating to the early 19th century, is pegged, and a 17th-century ovolo-moulded beam has been reused in a chimney stack within the roof space, suggesting that the house has earlier origins.
