Description

Nerrols Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 17th century, with enlargements made in the 18th and early 19th centuries. The building features roughcast over cob and random rubble, with a slate roof that is hipped at the crossing on the right. It has brick stacks located at the left gable end and on the cross wing. The farmhouse is laid out in an East-West orientation, with an addition at the rear in the North East corner, which was later enlarged with a South East wing and an attached outbuilding.

The structure is two storeys high and has a facade with three bays on the first floor and two bays on the ground floor. The first floor features 16-pane sash windows, while the ground floor has 16-pane sash windows flanking the entrance. There is a late 20th-century door in the re-entrant angle, and a 16-pane sash window in the end of the crosswing, which is to the left of a long, single storey outbuilding made of random rubble with brick dressings and a hipped pantiled roof. The main entrance has a depressed arch head with a fanlight, and a 19th-century door that features decorative studding and brass fittings, along with a coeval decorative wrought iron porch with a hood. The left return has two gables.

The interior has not been viewed but is said to contain only two dateable features: a chamfered beam with scroll stops and an ovolo moulded door frame that has been reversed.
