Description

Critchill Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid-17th century, with a late 19th-century addition and 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of rubble and features a double-Roman tile roof with a rubble ridge stack and three gabled dormers. It is designed in an L-plan, originally a cross passage house, and has two storeys and attics with a layout of one bay on the left that projects slightly forward under a coped gable. This bay includes three and four-light chamfered-stone mullioned windows, along with a single light opening in a similar surround to the gable. The right side has three bays with three and four-light hollow-moulded stone-mullioned windows, which feature a central king mullion on the ground floor, all beneath stopped labels. There is a door opening between the first and second bays, featuring a plank door set in a stone surround with a 4-centred head, and a late 19th-century gabled rubble porch.
