Dean Farmhouse

Dean Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has undergone 19th-century changes, including new windows and an extension. The building is constructed of whitewashed rubble with some slate hanging and features a slate roof and stone stacks. It is a long, narrow structure that steps down to the right, where the adjacent road rises. Originally, it may have functioned as two or three separate dwellings. The early layout likely included a lobby entrance, with the main chimney breast on the left and a service area on the right.

To the left, there is a slightly lower section that may have served as a dairy or similar outbuilding. The farmhouse has two storeys and a four-window arrangement with various casement windows. The left side features a two-light small-pane casement on each level, along with a later two-light window in a deeper reveal, which may have been a former door opening. To the right, there is a small 20th-century window and two 19th-century two-light windows at eaves level, above a wide early door with three planks, a two-light window, a stable door, and another two-light window with horizontal bars.

Each gable of the wider section has a square rubble stack, and there is a large central stack, likely from the 17th century, below the ridge. The upper gable end is plain and has a lean-to, while the lower gable, which is slate-hung, features a 20th-century porch with a door. The rear of the farmhouse, built into the slope of the ground, has a part lean-to and various casement windows.

Inside, only the ground floor is accessible. The principal parlour, located to the left of the entrance, has a deep square fire recess and remnants of a 17th-century chamfered and stopped beam. The original stair position is unclear, but the current staircase opens from this room and runs across the back of the range. The room to the right of the entrance lacks early features and has a lightweight lobby added; a 20th-century fire surround under the main stack may hide an earlier fireplace. The upper section, which has long been a separate dwelling, features a 19th-century roof and fittings. The farm buildings, which are not included in the listing, include the ruins of an earlier farmhouse or cottage located to the south of the farmhouse and on both sides of the road.
