Description

Grove House Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the late 18th century, with some alterations and additions from the 19th century, including an extra bay to the west. It is constructed of pale brown local brick and features stepped eaves and a concrete Roman tile roof, with chimneys at both ends and along the ridge. The building has two storeys and four bays.

On the garden front, there is a six-panel door with an oblong fanlight, flanked by reeded pilasters and topped with a later hood. The front also includes three 19th-century canted bays and above them are 16-pane sash windows set in flush wood architraves, with channelled stucco lintels. Inside, there are some original features such as archways with dentilled imposts and key blocks. The staircase has two turned balusters per tread, a ramped handrail, and carved tread ends, along with a dentilled dado rail and original doors in architraves.
