Description
Decoy Farmhouse is an early 19th-century farmhouse constructed of brick with a slate roof. It stands two storeys high and features three bays. The central entrance has a panelled door with an overlight above it, framed by a timber doorcase and hood supported by scrolled consoles. The windows are horned sash types with glazing bars, set beneath gauged skewback arches. The central bay projects slightly forward, and the corners of the building are accentuated by pilasters. The roof is hipped, with one chimney stack on each of the lateral slopes.
