Prospect Farmhouse

Farmhouse, dating from the mid-to-late 18th century, with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of coursed sandstone, set on a plinth, with distinctive herringbone-tooled quoins and a pantile roof topped with brick stacks. The original layout was a 3-cell design with a hearth passage, dividing the house into a high and low end. The high end is two stories high and has a three-window frontage, while the low end is a lower, 1½-story section to the right. The main front features a plank door to the low end, situated to the right of a 3-light, small-pane horizontal-sliding sash window, covered by a continuous timber lintel. A flight of steps leads to a board loft door to the right. The high end has two 30-pane fixed windows with small opening lights on both floors, with a smaller, later inserted window in the centre of the first floor. All original windows have painted stone sills and keyblock lintels. A cavetto-moulded eaves course runs along the top of the walls. The gables are coped, and have shaped kneelers, with end stacks serving the high end. The front facing the road has a 20th-century board door to the right of the low end, and a small 2-light horizontal-sliding sash window at the end to the left. A single 24-pane fixed window with a painted stone sill is located on the ground floor of the high end. Both the door and the high end window have painted keyblock lintels.
