Description
Dodbrook Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around the 17th century, which was extended in the 18th century, remodeled in the early 19th century, and further extended in the late 19th century. A slate tablet on the front is inscribed "LLIAS Stranger 1806". The building is constructed of cement washed stone rubble and has an asbestos slate roof with gabled ends. There is a rendered stone axial stack with set-offs. The layout consists of a 3-room and through passage plan, with the demolished lower end possibly having been a shippon. The passage survives, and the axial hall stack backs onto it. A 18th-century parlour wing is parallel at the rear of the higher end. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a three-window range featuring 19th and 20th-century casements with glazing bars. The larger ground floor centre window is a four-light hall window in a segmental-headed opening. To the left, there is a through passage doorway with a glazed door and a wide 19th-century gabled porch.
Inside, the hall has an open fireplace with a reused timber lintel. The ceiling beam in the hall is thin and chamfered with ogee steps, continuing into the inner room with similar steps. The inner room partition is plastered. Much of the 18th-century joinery remains intact, including fielded panel doors, a dog-leg staircase in the rear wing with splat balusters, and a tapered newel with head moulded corners. There was once an adjoining house at the north-west end.
