Description
Nether End Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates back to 1624, as indicated by the quartered shield on the door lintel, which reads "I.S.A.S. 1624". The building has undergone extensive additions and alterations, primarily in the 19th century. It is constructed of rendered rubble with a batter on the original north return and features a string course between the floors and a cavetto eaves moulding. The roof is covered with graduated slates and has an outshut at the rear, along with brick chimneys.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and consists of four bays from the original 1624 structure. The second bay from the left has a studded plank door with a false 4-centred head above a decorative lintel, although the door jambs have been replaced. To the extreme right, there is a 3-light stone-mullioned window, while a similar window to the left of the door has had a 19th-century paired sash inserted. Above the door, there is a 2-light stone-mullioned and transomed window, which has had the lower part of its mullion replaced by a casement; intact 3-light windows are found on either side. All windows, except for the inserted one, have 20th-century glazing with imitation diamond leading and are set in chamfered surrounds, with all openings featuring hoodmoulds.
To the right, there is a 2-bay 19th-century extension that is set back and has a panelled door on each floor. An adjoining byre range is located at right angles to the left and has replaced the south end of the house, with foundations discovered when the present floor was laid. Inside, a large fireplace has been uncovered in the ground floor south room, with a fire beam still surviving behind a 20th-century stud wall. The interior also features large chamfered beams and a splayed, segmental inner head to an original window, which is now blocked, visible on the ground floor north of the stairs.
