Description
Bowling Green Farmhouse, along with its attached garden walls and steps, dates from the early 19th century. The farmhouse features an ashlar gritstone facade, with coursed squared gritstone used elsewhere and gritstone dressings. It has a slate roof that is concealed by plain parapets with ridgeback copings and stone ridge stacks. The building has a plinth and plain bands that run between the storeys and at the eaves level.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and consists of six bays. It has a glazed panelled door with a divided overlight in a plain opening, and to the east, there are two glazing bar sash windows in plain openings. To the west, there are two similar sashes, one on either side of a larger opening that features a glazing bar sash above two opening timber panels, which form a type of door. Above these, there are six glazing bar sashes in plain openings.
Attached to the east side is a flight of steps with ridgeback coped side walls leading up to the first-floor door. On the west side of the house, there is a stepped garden wall with triangular sectioned copings. This wall continues around the front of the house and includes a flight of steps that descends to the fields at the center of the southern wall. The steps are flanked by tall square piers at either end, which have large banded ball finials, and the side walls are ridgeback coped with a plain square pier halfway down. The farmhouse is located on the site of the 'new' bowling green, which was moved from the terraces next to Haddon Hall.
