Yallands Farmhouse

Yallands Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with the west end rebuilt in the early 17th century. It features brick wings that were added later, and the interior was altered in the early 19th century before being restored in the late 20th century. The building is rendered over the original cob construction, with the west end rebuilt in red sandstone rubble. The wings are made of red brick in Flemish bond, set on a random rubble plinth. The steeply pitched one-bay west end has coped verges at the gable, while the shallower pitched section over three bays of cob and the brick crosswing all have double Roman tiles. Brick stacks are located at the gable ends and between the first and second bays of the original block.

The plan consists of three cells and a cross passage lying east-west, with the cross passage enlarged and the entrance relocated to the north-west wing, which contains the cross wing at the east end. The south front has two storeys and a layout of 1:3:1 bays, with the end bay on the right being the brick crosswing. All openings have late 20th-century casements, and there is a wooden four-panel door in the second bay from the left, along with a gabled porch covered in double Roman tiles. The north front retains the remains of two four-light octagonal mullioned windows, and the west gable end is said to contain a stairlight with a square mullion and an internal ogee head.

Inside, there is a chamfered lintel above the fireplace in the west gable, a moulded plaster cornice, and a stick stair with a cut string and mahogany handrail. The cob portion of the dwelling features three pairs of jointed trusses rising from ground level.
