Description
Ballarat Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of ham stone coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and features a plain clay tiled roof, with the western section resting on stone slate base courses and topped by stepped coped gables. The building has brick chimney stacks and stands two storeys tall with attics, displaying a four-bay north elevation.
The first bay is set back and slightly lower than the others, featuring a two-light 20th-century window above. To the right of this bay is a six-fielded-panel door, which is sheltered by an open stone porch supported by Tuscan columns and pilasters, along with a plain entablature. To the left of the first bay is a projecting wing, likely a dairy, which has a boarded door and a window in the north gable, as well as a leaded casement on the west side. The remaining windows on the north elevation are chamfer-mullioned, including a two-light window in the lower bay two, a plain window above, and a deep two-light transomed window at the upper level of bay three, which is mirrored by a similar window in the west gable.
The south elevation is similar to the north but features ashlar in the two western bays and has another open porch to the left of the east bay. An attic window is present in the east gable. The interior has not been seen.
