Harpford Farmhouse

Harford Farmhouse is a building of probable 16th-century origin, significantly enlarged in the 17th century, with mid-20th century replacement windows. It is constructed of roughcast over random rubble, with the rubble visible on the north and east faces. The roof is slate, with a bitumen covering on the south-east wing, and the north-east wing projects forward on the north front. Stone stacks are located at the south gable end of the main block, between the first and second bays to the right, and at the south-west gable end. The farmhouse likely began as a two-cell and cross-passage dwelling, expanded to a three-cell and cross-passage layout facing west, with a two-bay south-east wing and a north-east addition. The west front is two storeys high and has three bays, with a slight bulge on the facade to the right of the stack, which incorporates a raking buttress below it. The windows are four-light casements. The entrance is in the second bay from the left, with a moulded surround to the square-head doorway, which is partially obscured by a two-bay, 20th-century glazed verandah. The right-hand bay on the west front is unlit on the facade. On the right return, remains of two four-light, ovolo-moulded mullioned windows are visible on the ground floor gable end and the projecting wing; a two-light window is situated above. The interior was not inspected during the listing process.
