Hartnells Farmhouse and Attached Barn

Hartnells Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse, with 18th and 19th-century extensions to the side and rear elevations. The principal facade is of rendered rubble stone, while later rear projections are of brick at first-floor level. The roof is covered in pantiles, thought to have originally been thatched. Brick gable end stacks and raised Ham stone verges are also present.

The building is a two-storey, two-room through-passage house, extended to the west and with two two-storey projections to the rear. The main front has a three-bay design with a central doorway and three windows to each floor, all with late 19th-century three-light wooden casements. A further bay extends to the south-west, featuring an 18th-century plank door and two three-light wooden casements. Attached to the south-west corner of the extension is a less significant L-shaped agricultural building. The rear elevation incorporates a catslide roof, lean-tos and two two-storey projections; one projection is of rubble stone to the ground floor and brick to the first floor, potentially indicating an earlier wing.

The interior remains largely intact, featuring inglenook fireplaces in the ground floor principal rooms, chamfered ceiling beams to the ground and first floors, a winder staircase within an external stair turret, and a service staircase to the 18th-century extension. Many original plank doors are also present. A decorative faceted jewelled stop is incorporated into the centre of a ceiling beam on the first floor of the central room. The 18th-century extension contains A-frame trusses with collar and butt purlins. The original roof structure is likely to survive.

Hartnells Farmhouse has been designated at Grade II for being a substantially intact late 17th-century through-passage farmhouse with 18th and 19th-century additions and an attached barn, preserving a significant amount of historic fabric including ceiling beams, staircases, and fireplaces, and benefiting from a good-quality 18th-century extension that does not diminish the building's overall interest.
