Description
Docker Nook Farmhouse and its attached outbuildings, likely originally a cowhouse under a granary, date from the late 17th century or early 18th century. The building features limewashed stone rubble walls with protruding through stones and a stone rubble plinth for the outbuildings. It has a graduated green slate roof and two chimney stacks, and is two storeys tall. The entrance includes a 20th-century door set in a stone porch that has a pitched slate roof and side benches. To the left is a 19th-century casement window, and to the right is a 19th-century stone mullioned window, with two additional casements above. The outbuilding has a door with a timber lintel and two ventilation slits above. Inside, the floors are flagged, and there are chamfered oak beams, a 19th-century fireplace surround in the kitchen, a small oak staircase with turned balusters and a closed string, a spice cupboard with a plain boarded door, and some old oak doors.
