Description

Plain Farmhouse is a house dating from the 18th century and mid 19th century. It is a double pile house constructed from ashlar malmstone with a tiled roof. The rear elevation, which faces southeast, has two storeys and three windows. It features plain walls of ashlar malmstone, casements with pointed heads, and one upper splayed bay on the west side, along with a plain doorway. There is a small slate plaque inscribed with the year 1836.

The front elevation, facing northwest, is from the mid 19th century and designed in a Tudor style. It has two storeys and three windows, with walls made of painted brickwork in English bond and rubbed flat arches. The roof is adorned with bands of scalloped tiles, and the chimneys have diagonal flues on rectangular bases. The windows are three-light casements with pointed heads, and there is a large central bay topped with a crenellated parapet, flanked by walls with Gothic coping. There is a plain doorway located to the west of the bay and a filled doorway at the east side.

Attached to the building at the east end is a single-storeyed octagonal structure, connected by an open porch. This octagonal building has a hipped roof and walls made of brickwork with lower flint panels. It features Gothic windows alternating with vertical slits and a Tudor doorway facing the porch.
