Flaxdrayton Farmhouse

Flaxdrayton Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse, likely built in the late 17th century but soon rebuilt after a fire and modified. It is constructed from Ham stone ashlar and features a Welsh slate roof with high coped gables, suggesting it may have originally had thatch. The building has two storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a three-bay south-east elevation that faces the road.

The farmhouse has a plinth and hollow-chamfered mullioned windows set in chamfered recesses with unworked top mitres and individual labels. However, on the front elevation, the original four- and three-light windows have had two mullions removed, resulting in pairs of casements in the outer bays and a three-light horizontal-bar casement in the upper centre. The lower centre bay features a 20th-century boarded door set in a cambered archway with incised spandrils in a deep lintel with a label. The north-west gable has attic and first-floor windows with two lights and intact mullions, along with a single-storey extension that has a plain clay tiled roof and an additional lean-to on the south side. There is also a single-light attic window in the south-east gable.

Although the interior was not seen, it is reported to show many signs of fire damage. The layout consists of two rooms on each side of a central passage, which is not a throughway due to changes in levels. The beams have small chamfers with step and run-out stops, and the kitchen fireplace features a cambered-arched beam, an oven, and traces of a bacon curing chamber. The tusk-tenoned roof frame may date from after the rebuilding, which likely occurred in the early 18th century.
