Castle Farmhouse And Attached Outbuildings To North

Castle Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the 18th century, with some modifications from the 19th century. It is constructed of near-ashlar Ham stone and has a Welsh slate roof with stepped coped gables and stone slab chimney stacks. The building has two storeys and features five bays. The windows are hollow-chamfered mullioned types set in chamfered recesses, with individual labels; all are three-light. The upper windows in bays one and two are deeper and may be from the 19th century, while the upper windows are rectangular leaded. The lower bays three and five have 19th-century honeycomb-leaded windows. There is a gabled porch at lower bay two with a 19th or 20th-century cambered arch, and the square label continues as a string with an incised scroll in the gable reading 'A Rege et Victoria.' Bay four features a six-panel door with top-lights set into a stone porch with attached Tuscan columns, a full entablature, and an open pediment. To the north, there is a range of attached farm buildings. The first two bays of these buildings may date from the same period as bays one and two of the farmhouse, possibly restored after fire damage, and feature two-light casement windows. There are two further buildings with double Roman clay tile roofs between stepped coped gables, the first of which has a segmental-arched doorway. The interiors have not been seen. The property was formerly known as Castle Close.
