Description

Castle Farmhouse is a farmhouse built before 1779 for John Perceval, Earl of Egmont. It features random rubble construction with some roughcast and a triple Roman and pantile roof. The building has shaped Baroque gables with stone copings and brick kneelers that rise as low piers topped with stone ball finials. There are brick stacks at the apex of each gable as well as additional brick stacks.

The farmhouse is designed in an L-plan, with a wing at right angles to the right of the main frontage, which has a front-facing gable. The left section of the building is two storeys high and consists of four bays. The first floor has two-light iron casements in emphasized surrounds with leaded lights and iron quadrants. The ground floor features semi-circular head windows in similar surrounds, each with keys and imposts, and a single-light leaded casement, along with two smaller lights above.

There is a two-storey projecting wing with a single triple-light casement with glazing bars on each floor, and the first floor window is made of iron. The gabled frontage facing the road has two blank "pitching eyes" on the first floor, flanking a semi-circular head window with an emphasized free-stone keystone and brick voussoirs, featuring sash glazing bars with a traceried head. To the left of the ground floor is a similar window, while the right window has a later inserted four-panelled door. The left return of the building is in a similar style, with most openings being blank. The left side has four bays with a central door opening that features a half-glazed door.
