Description

Acomb House Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse with early 19th-century alterations. It is constructed of coursed dressed stone on a plinth, topped with a pantile roof featuring stone coped gables, shaped kneelers, and rebuilt brick end stacks. The building has a central stairhall plan and is two rooms deep, with a two-storey front that has three windows. The entrance features a 20th-century replacement door with an overlight and a moulded cornice hood supported by grooved consoles. All windows are 16-pane sashes with painted stone sills and tripartite lintels adorned with triple keyblocks.

At the rear, there is a six-panel door with an overlight, and to the left, there are 12-pane sashes on both floors, all with tripartite keyed lintels. To the right, there is a tripartite sash window on the ground floor and paired 8-pane sashes on the first floor, both featuring cambered heads beneath keyed flat arches made of voussoirs. All windows have painted stone sills. Inside, the farmhouse boasts an open-string staircase with chamfered stick balusters, a moulded handrail, and square newels.
