Birchfield Farmhouse With Garden Wall To Front

Birchfield Farmhouse, likely built in the late 17th century with some changes made in the mid 18th century, features an attached garden wall. The house is constructed from coursed squared gritstone, with a rubble wall and a blue slate roof that has two courses of stone slates at the eaves. It is two storeys high and has three bays, following a lobby-entrance plan. The building has quoins and a four-panel door located to the right of the centre, set in an alternate quoined surround, with a possibly dated lintel that is obscured by climbing plants. There are 16-pane sash windows in sawn stone surrounds throughout the house, with paired windows to the left of the entrance and single windows at both the far left and far right. The first floor features three 18-pane side-sliding sash windows. The house has shaped kneelers and gable copings, with a large corniced ridge stack above the door, a similar style stack at the far right, and a later stack at the far left. The interior has not been inspected. There is a 19th-century additional bay at the far right, which is not of special interest. The garden wall is approximately 1.5 metres high, ramping up twice to the left to about 2.5 metres high, and features triangular-sectioned ashlar coping, with an overall length of approximately 30 metres.
