Description
Kingston Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th or 17th century, with alterations including refenestration around 1900. The building is rendered and features a double-Roman tile roof with wide bracketed eaves and brick stacks. It has two storeys and three bays, with 2 and 3-light casements on the first floor that are transomed. There is a small window to the left on the first floor, positioned almost directly under the eaves. The central door opening contains a studded plank door and is topped with a flat leaded hood supported by wrought-iron brackets. To the left, there is an outshut made of Flemish bond brick with a double-Roman tile roof. This outshut has a two-light casement with glazing bars on the first floor, brick voussoirs, and a central freestone key. There is also a doorway on the left of the ground floor with 20th-century corrugated iron doors. Inside, the left ground floor room features a compartment ceiling and a large open fireplace with stone jambs. The interior includes some 18th-century fielded panelled doors. Beneath the roof added around 1900, there is a well-preserved tie-beam roof from the 16th or 17th century, which extends over the outshut that was part of the original house.
