Description
Midtown Farmhouse and the adjoining barns are a former farmhouse and barns dating from the early 18th century, with some alterations made in the 19th century. The farmhouse features painted roughcast walls and is topped with a graduated greenslate roof, which includes roughcast chimney stacks. The barns also have roughcast walls and a whitewashed rubble wall, all under a graduated greenslate roof. The building is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with the left barn sharing a common roof and a lower right barn.
A roughcast stone porch leads to the farmhouse, featuring a 20th-century door set within a 19th-century painted stone surround. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, framed by painted stone surrounds. There is a small casement window above the entrance, and fire windows on both floors to the right are in original plain reveals. The left barn has a plank door with a loft door above it, both in plain reveals, while the right barn features large double-plank doors set in a segmental arch, with slit vents above.
Inside, the farmhouse has a beamed ceiling and an 18th-century panelled wall cupboard. The door within the porch is adorned with an 18th-century painted stone architrave. A pent extension to the left barn and an adjoining shop are not considered of interest.
