Snellgroves

Snellgroves is an early 17th-century farmhouse, now used as a dwelling. The building was later faced with brick in the 18th century, with further alterations including raising the roof and outshot, and the insertion of a new doorway in the 19th century. The ground floor is built on a red sandstone rubble plinth, with walls of cob and rubble faced in brick. The roof is slate-covered and extends over an addition. Brick stacks are located on the gable ends and to the left of the cross passage.

The farmhouse has an L-shaped plan, originally comprising three cells and a cross passage, with a later addition. It is two storeys high, with a 2:2 bay front. The windows are mostly casements, some from the 19th and 20th centuries. A plank door, set within a 15th-century moulded four-centred arch doorcase, is approached by a flight of steps. A 20th-century lean-to addition extends from the left return, and the right gable end shows rubble construction with brickwork higher up where the roof was raised.

The interior has a partially visible structure; a chamfered lintel is present above a right gable end fireplace, which contains a bread oven. There are remnants of a scratch-moulded screen in the cross passage, and exposed ceiling joists. A left gable end fireplace is believed to be substantial, with stairs situated on one side. The doorcase is believed to have originated either from the Church of St Peter and St Paul at North Curry, or a secular building nearby.
