Description
Top Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. It is built from slobbered, squared rubble with stone dressings and has a stone slate roof. The building has a three-cell plan and stands two storeys high with three bays. The entrance, located to the right of centre, is in a later gabled porch with a chamfered surround and features a lintel inscribed with "IH 1726" above a plank door.
To the left of the entrance are ground floor windows with three and four lights, featuring chamfered mullions, while the upper floor has two four-light windows, all with slate dripstones. On the right side, there is a large 20th-century ground floor window that reuses 18th-century surrounds, along with the remains of a blocked window. The upper floor originally had a four-light chamfered mullioned window, which has been altered to two lights with only the central mullion remaining. The windows are fitted with five-pane casements from around 1980, designed to imitate former metal casements. The farmhouse has four ridge stacks, with the one on the right now located at the junction with an outbuilding.
Inside, there is an early 18th-century parlour fireplace featuring moulded jambs and a moulded cornice.
