Description

Ludney Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse that was rebuilt in the late 18th century, with some modifications made to an earlier structure. It is constructed of cut and squared Ham stone and features a Welsh slate roof with coped gables that have a shallow pitch, along with brick chimney stacks. The building has an 'L' plan and is two storeys high with three bays.

The windows are casement style; on the upper floor, there are three-light windows in the 18th-century pattern with rectangular leaded lights in bays one and two, which have iron-framed opening lights, while bay three has a blind window. The ground floor features four-light horizontal-bar casements. Between bays one and two, there is a boarded door in a plain opening, leading to an open ashlar porch that has a ball finial on the coped gable, a four-centre outer arch, and a pointed-arch sidelight.

To the east gable, there is a single-storey extension that matches the main building, also featuring a ball finial on the coped gable and a two-light leaded casement. The west gable is plain. There is a return wing that matches the main house on the southeast corner, which includes two bays of the house and a longer, lower two-storey agricultural building with a clay pantiled roof. This agricultural building has a single-storey extension on its south gable, as well as a lean-to building with a Welsh slate roof at the junction of the house wing and the rear building, featuring casement windows and a boarded door at the north end.

The interior has not been seen. The farmlands were first mentioned in 1316, and in 1728, the farmhouse became part of the Poulatt Estate of Hinton St. George.
