Description
Coventree Farmhouse, now used as a store, and an attached former farmhouse at the south end, date from the late 17th century and late 18th century, respectively, with the latter extended to the rear. Both sections are constructed of white-washed random rubble with quoins and feature stone slate roofs across two levels. The building has a linear plan oriented north-south, with the older and smaller section positioned to the south.
The earlier portion is single-depth and was formerly two small units, consisting of two low storeys and two windows. It has a stone slate drip-course over the ground floor, a square-headed doorway offset to the right with a projected stone lintel, a small former fire-window near the left corner, a small window to the left of the doorway that has been altered into a doorway, and a small loading doorway above that. There is also a small oblong six-pane fixed window on each floor to the right. The left gable features a cut-down corbelled chimney, and the rear wall has a doorway but is otherwise blind.
The later portion to the right has a single-depth two-unit plan with a large L-shaped outshut added to the rear. It consists of two storeys and three symmetrical windows, with remnants of a former gabled stone-slab porch framing a square-headed doorway in the centre, which now has a 20th-century glazed door. There are two six-pane sash windows at the ground floor and three matching sashes above, along with gable chimneys. At the rear, the deeper northern section of the outshut has a square nine-pane window in its rear wall and a doorway in the re-entrant; the other section features a tall cross-window for the staircase, complete with glazing bars.
The interior has not been inspected, but visible features include two axial beams with run-out chamfers in the north room, a dog-legged staircase with stick balusters, and some fielded panelling.
