Buckland Farmhouse

Buckland Farmhouse is a late 16th-century farmhouse that was restored between 1982 and 1985. It features roughcast over rubble with a slate roof, coped verges, and brick stacks at the gable ends of the wings and to the right of the through passage. The building is arranged in a U-plan on a sloping site, consisting of two cells and a cross passage that faces west. The T-plan stair rises on the gabled east front, and there is a cellar below the southeast wing.

The farmhouse has two storeys and a facade with two bays on the left and one bay on the right. The west front has late 19th-century three-light casements, except for a steeply chamfered wooden mullioned casement with four lights on the first floor to the right. A central gabled porch features 19th-century decorative bargeboards and a half-glazed door. The right return, or south front, has three bays with a central doorway approached by two steps. To the right, there is a basement lit by a single light on the left and a two-light ovolo moulded stone mullioned window with a square hoodmould on the right. A similar blocked window is found on the rear elevation of this wing. The northeast wing has a hoodmould over a window and door in the gable end, with two and three-light steeply chamfered wooden mullioned windows on the returns. There is a chamfered square-headed doorway to the cellar on the centre left, an 18th-century door, and a cross passage doorway on the right.

Inside, there is a plank and muntin screen to the left of the cross passage, a renewed plinth, and a chamfered lintel over the kitchen fireplace with a curing chamber bay to the left and an empty stair bay to the right. A square-headed chamfered doorway leads to the wing. To the right of the through passage, there are steeply chamfered beams and a rebuilt fireplace. The cellar has stone steps, and the southeast wing features a six-panel compartment ceiling with decorative strapwork plaster, along with remnants of 18th-century panelling around the fireplace, which has space for an overmantel picture. The original panelling is said to have been removed to Gerbestone Manor in the 1930s. On the first floor, one bay of a joint cruck truss is visible, and there is a ribbed plaster ceiling in the southwest room of the main block. A small room is enclosed with plank and suntin screens on two sides, and there are peaked door trades. The roof space has not been seen. Original floorboards and several early doors are still present.
