Draw Well Farmhouse

Draw Well Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It has been altered and enlarged, with a small extension added in the 20th century. The building features white-painted random rubble with large quoins, a blue slate roof with green slate in the upper courses, and stone riggings, along with a rendered chimney. The layout is single-depth with a two-unit plan and a staircase outshut at the rear, plus the 20th-century extension on the south-west gable.

The exterior consists of two storeys and two windows, arranged almost symmetrically. It has a plinth, a continuous stone slate drip-course over the ground floor (which is interrupted by a later porch), and an interrupted course of through-stones above this. The doorway is slightly offset to the right and features a square head, a board door, and a wide but shallow porch with thick stone side walls supporting a shallow pitched tiled roof that is open to the front, with the apex supported by a strut from a shaped wooden lintel. To the left of the doorway is a two-light casement with four-paned lights, and to the right is a small four-paned sashed window. On the first floor, there are two small two-light casements. A gable chimney is located to the left, and a taller barn is attached to the right-hand gable. The left gable has a set-back lean-to extension. At the rear, there is a shallow full-height outshut at the center and south-west end (now rendered) with a doorway at ground floor and three very small chamfered one-light windows on the upper floor, with the center window being lower as it serves as a stair window.

The interior, which was inspected through the windows, shows that the ground floor is now a single vessel, featuring two lateral beams and a rear right-hand corner that is enclosed by a muntin-and-rail panelled partition. The farmhouse forms a group with the attached barn at the north-east end and the garden wall at the front.
