Description
Kelleth Farmhouse is a large house, likely built in the late 17th century or early 18th century. It features an undated lead rainwater head with the raised initials G. & E.W. The exterior is made of limewashed rubble on a plinth with quoins, topped with graduated slate roofs that have stone copings and kneelers. The house has a double-pile plan with wings that project to the front and is two storeys high with five bays arranged in a 1:3:1 pattern.
The main block includes a central panelled door set within a segment-headed porch. On either side of this door, there are two-light windows in a 20th-century mullioned surround on each floor. The right-hand wing has a panelled door in a corniced doorcase at the gable end, with a two-light window above it, and similar windows on each floor of the gable end of the left-hand wing. These windows have original stone mullioned surrounds, featuring fake (incised) gauging to segmental lintels, and all windows are square-leaded.
On the inner face of each wing, between the floors, there are semicircular-headed stone panels decorated with incised paterae. An ornate, octagonal wrought-iron lantern is positioned at the outer corner of the left-hand wing. The house also has a dentilled eaves cornice with a concealed gutter and stepped, corniced stone end chimneys.
