Description

Buxlow Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations and extensions made in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The building features a rendered exterior over a timber frame, with a plinth that is partly made of 17th-century brick. It has tiled roofs, with the front pitch raised and slated, and flanking brick chimneys. The house has a T-plan layout, including an additional timber-framed wing at the northeast angle and an early 19th-century extension on the right.

The southwest front has two and a half bays, with a half-bay in the center. The outer bays contain 20th-century paired barred wooden casements, while the central section features a 20th-century door set in an architrave frame, accompanied by a flat-roofed porch with shaped bargeboards. The extension is a single storey with one 20th-century casement window.

On the northeast side facing the road, there are double projecting gables; the left gable is lower and narrower, with shaped eaves boards. This side also includes 20th-century wooden casements, including a two-light window in the attic of the right gable. The ground floor is obscured by attached outbuildings and a garage. There is a single bay set back to the right, which features an 18th to early 19th-century five-pane sash window on the ground floor.
