Description

This is a probable 18th-century farmhouse located in Milborne Port. The building is constructed of local stone, squared and cut, with ashlar dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof with simple gables. Brick chimney stacks are also present. The farmhouse is two stories high and originally comprised five bays, although bays 4 and 5 are later, wider extensions. The original part of the house features rusticated corner pilasters and retains three-light horizontal bar casement windows below and two-light leaded casements above, all set in voussoired segmental arched openings. A six-panel door with glazed toplights sits within a lined segmental arched recess in bay 2. Bay 4 has three-light latching leaded windows on both levels, and bay 5, which has a lower half-hipped roof covered in fish scale tiles, also has three-light leaded windows, with only the lower window arched. The interior of the building has not been inspected.
