Description

Finger Farm House is a farmhouse dating from the mid-17th century, with later alterations. It is constructed of local limestone rubble and features a tile roof, a small dormer, and two rubble and two brick stacks, with a coped verge on the right side. The building has a rectangular plan and is two stories high, comprising five bays. The windows are two and three-light ovolo moulded stone mullioned windows with labels above, except for the left bay, which has plastered brick surrounds that imitate mullion windows. There is a 19th-century gabled porch with decorative bargeboard and a 19th-century four-panelled inner door set in a moulded stone surround. To the left side, there is a single-storey pent roofed outshut.
