Description

Folly Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 16th century, with features from the 18th to early 19th centuries. It has a roughcast exterior and a slate roof with coped verges and three renewed rendered stacks. The building has a three-unit and cross-passage plan, is two storeys high, and consists of four bays. It features three-light casements with horizontal glazing bars. The door opening is located between the second and third bays and is framed by a stone doorcase with pilasters and a cornice, leading to a four-panelled door with a transom light above. Inside, there is a fireplace to the right of the ground floor, which has a moulded wooden bressumer and moulded stone jambs, along with some fitted cupboards.
