Description

The Old Farmhouse is a late 18th-century house with early 19th-century extensions and remodelling. It is constructed of coursed sandstone with brick dressings and a red brick extension, with a slate and pantile roof and brick stacks.

The garden front is two storeys high with a five-window facade. It features six-panelled doors positioned to the left and right of the centre. Above the door on the right is a two-light horizontal sliding sash window, and a later 20th-century fixed light window is above the door on the left. The remaining windows are three-light, small-pane horizontal sliding sashes. All windows are set within segmental arches formed with gauged brick.

The street front presents as a two-storey, three-window brick range with a one-and-a-half-storey stone outshut to the right. A 20th-century door is located in the return wall of the outshut, and a blocked doorway is in the centre of the brick range. Sixteen-pane sashes are present on the left, while 20th-century windows occupy the right side, except for a two-light, small-pane horizontal sliding sash at the ground floor end right, which sits beneath a thin timber lintel. The building has coped gables with shaped kneelers, and end and right-of-centre brick stacks.
