Steart Farmhouse

Steart Farmhouse is a late 18th century farmhouse constructed with roughcast over rubble and features a shallow pitch slate roof. The main block has a fluted wooden cornice, with brick stacks positioned to the right and between the first and second bays on the left, as well as one rising from the eaves at the re-entrant angle of the wing. The building is designed in an L-plan, consisting of three cells and a cross passage with a crosswing. It stands two storeys high and has five bays, with 20-pane sash windows on the first floor. The ground floor includes a 12-pane sash window to the left of the entrance, a 20-pane sash window flanking a 20th-century porch, and a 16-pane sash window in the single bay of the re-entrant angle of the wing. The main entrance features a semicircular head above a six-panel raised and fielded door with a fanlight; however, the main access is now into the kitchen via a 20th-century glazed porch. The left return of the building is slate hung. Inside, the farmhouse has a collar beam roof, fielded and panelled doors, and quarry tiled floors. It is a good example of a late 18th century farmhouse.
