Description
Tadhill House Farmhouse is a 17th-century inn, later used as a farmhouse, with significant alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. It has a "L" shape and a classical facade. The external walls are rendered and the roof is slate-covered, with brick and ashlar stacks. The left wing has two bays with sash windows in moulded stone surrounds; a bay window with a flat roof is on the ground floor to the left, and a central door is topped by a triangular pediment supported by brackets, with a six-panelled door. The right wing has a more irregular window arrangement in similar surrounds, with a 19th-century four-panelled door to the left and another door on the first floor accessed by a flight of stone steps with a plain handrail. The end elevation features triple-light sash windows on each floor. At the rear, there are two ovolo-moulded stone mullioned windows, one of two lights and one of four lights.
