Description
Slade Farmhouse is a mid-19th century folly, believed to have been constructed using materials from the old church in Hedgerley. The building is made of flint with stone dressings and features a machine tile mansard roof, which includes some bands of fishscale tiles. It has quoins and angle buttresses, standing two storeys plus an attic with three bays.
On the ground floor, there is a bay window with a stone parapet and tracery, a central 'Romanesque' doorway that has three orders of colonnettes and a half-hipped roof, along with a three-light window. A string course runs at the level of the parapet of the bay window, drops to the level of the capitals of the porch, and then rises again to create a kind of hood mould over the three-light window. The first floor features a three-light window with a hood mould, a central elongated lozenge-shaped window in the Decorated style with leaded glazing, and an oriel window with a moulded stone base and a tiled roof. The attic storey has two two-light arched casements with arched heads set within shaped gables.
