Description

Howe Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century, possibly incorporating parts of an earlier house, with alterations made in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of orange-red brick in English garden wall bond, featuring gauged brick dressings. The rear wings are partly made of coursed rubblestone, and the stone coped gables have moulded kneelers supporting a pantile roof, which has brick end stacks, with the left stack featuring a dentil cornice.

The farmhouse has a central entrance hall plan and is two rooms deep, with two rear wings. The front is two stories high and has four windows. To the left of the center, there is a 20th-century small-pane glazed door with a tall round-headed small-pane staircase sash window above it, all within a continuous frame. To the left of the door is a full-height canted bay window with a shallow parapet and replacement windows that include small-pane French doors on the ground floor. To the right of the door, there is a four-pane sash window. On the first floor, the canted bay has a 16-pane center sash flanked by two 12-pane sashes, and to the right, there are two four-pane sash windows. The bay windows feature flat arches made of gauged brick, while the detailing of the other windows is obscured by creeper.

At the rear, the window openings have segmental arches, and there is a brick dentil eaves cornice. On the right return, there is a blind window on the first floor with a flat arch of brick that has been rendered. Inside, there is a full-height open-string staircase with slender turned balusters and a moulded handrail that is wreathed at the foot.
