Ballifants

Ballifants is an early 19th-century farmhouse located in Ash Priors. It is constructed from red sandstone with coursed, squared masonry and features slate roofs. The building has a 20th-century external stack on the left, while the original stack is concealed behind the parapet of a Tudor-style tower. The farmhouse is one and a half storeys tall and includes a two-storey hexagonal crenellated tower on the right, which has a string course and a coved cornice on the left.

All windows are three-light wooden hollow chamfered mullions with plate glass. The main block features two gabled dormers with hood moulds and finials. On the ground floor, there is a window on either side of a single-storey gabled porch, which has brick kneelers, a hood mould, and an early 19th-century Tudor-style door. The overall design is picturesque and similar in style to Greenway House and part of the Sandhill Park estate. The Ballifants family is recorded as residents in Ash Priors since 1643, suggesting that this house may be built on the site of an earlier dwelling.
