Description
College Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse constructed of limestone ashlar with ironstone dressings, featuring a 20th-century plain-tile roof and a stone internal stack with four square flues. The building has a chamfered plinth and a moulded cap, following a two-unit lobby-entry plan. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has a three-window range. The central entrance consists of an eight-panel door framed by a fine moulded stone surround, a plain frieze, a moulded cornice, and a broken segmental pediment topped with a ball finial, accessed by three moulded stone steps.
On either side of the entrance, there are three-light casement windows on both the ground and first floors, with wood lintels. Above the door, there is a two-light casement window with a moulded stone sill and surround. The building features a chamfered plinth, a two-light flat-faced stone mullion cellar window to the right, chamfered quoins, and stone-coped gables with kneelers. To the left, there is a 19th-century two-storey extension with a single-window and a brick end stack. The rear of the house includes two-light stone mullion windows with moulded sills and surrounds, some of which are blocked.
At the rear left, there is an attached two-bay outbuilding, likely built around the same time as the farmhouse. This outbuilding has a horizontal oval window with a stone surround on the rear gable and a stone-coped gable with kneelers at the other end, topped with a slate roof.
Inside, the farmhouse features back-to-back open fireplaces, one with a stop-chamfered bressumer and the other blocked. The interior also includes ogee-stop-chamfered spine beams, a fitted cupboard with shaped shelves, a reset staircase with original turned balusters, and a bolection-moulded stone fireplace surround in the upper room, which is adorned with Dutch tiles around a late 18th-century cast-iron grate.
