Description
Underwood and barn adjoining is a farmhouse and barn dated 1742, with the initials I&SF (Isaac & Susanna Fletcher) displayed in lead over the front porch. The barn features alterations dated 1925, inscribed on a stone in a blocked window with the initials J&KR (Jackson & Kate Rowlin). The building has roughcast walls, an eaves cornice, and V-jointed quoins. It is topped with a graduated greenslate roof, which has a coped gable on the right and roughcast chimney stacks. The barn has roughcast walls beneath a Welsh slate roof. The structure is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with a rear extension and a long, higher barn on the left.
The entrance features a top-glazed panelled door set within a painted stone architrave, located in a porch with shaped side stones and a segmental hood supported by fluted pilasters. Sash windows with glazing bars, including a larger window to the right of the entrance, are framed in painted stone architraves. The barn has off-centre plank doors beneath a segmental arch, with additional plank doors on either side and slit vents under the eaves. The right return wall of the extension includes a plank door in a stone surround, with the lintel inscribed (though covered by render) and dated.
Inside, there are panelled doors, including one in the passage that has a panelled reveal under a fanlight. A broad stone staircase features turned balusters and a moulded handrail. The lower right washhouse and breeze-block extension to the barn are not of interest.
