Description

Sockety Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse built in the late 18th century. It features a façade made of red brick in Flemish bond, with ashlar dressings, and is constructed from Ham stone that has been cut and squared. The roof is plain clay tiles, set between stepped coped gables, and there are brick chimney stacks at each end. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a three-bay south elevation that faces at right angles to the road.

The windows are hollow-chamfered mullioned types set in chamfered recesses with labels; the outer bays have three-light windows, while the first floor has a two-light window. In the lower bay two, there is a 20th-century door in a recess, surrounded by plain ashlar and topped with a moulded stone hood supported by stone brackets. A small single-light window with a timber lintel is located in the west gable, while the rest of the windows are 20th-century timber casements. There is an outshut at the rear of the building.

Attached to the east gable is a two-storey structure made of roughly cut and squared stone, which has an offset at the first floor level. This building has a Welsh slate roof with a stepped coped east gable and a gabletted finial. It features two three-light casements on the first floor, with the more easterly window displaying an earlier design with rectangular leaded lights and an iron-framed opening light. The interior of the farmhouse has not been seen. Sockety Farmhouse is noted as one of the later 18th-century developments located north of the main village.
