Description
Postlebury Farmhouse and the attached barn date from the late 16th century. They are built from local limestone rubble with dressed quoins and plain tile roofs, featuring rubble stacks. The farmhouse is rectangular in shape, two stories high, and has four bays with irregular window placement. It includes two and three-light reserved chamfer stone mullioned windows with stopped labels. The door opening has a keel moulded stone surround and an elaborate drip hood with lozenge decoration at its center, leading to a 19th-century four-panelled door. Inside, there is a broad fireplace with a wooden lintel in the left ground floor room. The barn extends at a right angle from the right side of the facade and has the remains of a window opening with a label on the left return and a broad entrance on the right return.
