Allshire Farmhouse

Allshire Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th to 17th century, with alterations and expansions made in the late 18th to early 19th century, and further changes in the mid-20th century. The building is rendered over rubble and features a shallow pitched slate roof that is hipped with a catslide on the east front. There are roughcast stacks at the former gable end on the east side and between the second and third bays on the left. The plan of the farmhouse is not entirely clear, but it consists of three cells, with an extension to the northeast that includes a two-storey range at the angle. The west end has been rebuilt and extended.

The south front of the farmhouse is two storeys high and has five bays. On the first floor, there is a 20th-century window to the left, two three-light leaded iron casements, one late 19th-century wooden casement, and another leaded iron window in the extension to the right of the stall. The ground floor features two 20th-century windows on the left, a 20th-century door, a 16-pane sash window, a three-light casement, and another 20th-century door, with the end bay on the right being unlit.

Inside, the original kitchen is located at the east end and includes a bressumer and a cambered head opening, possibly leading to a curing chamber with an inserted light. A room to the west has been cut by a corridor on the north front, forming an early 19th-century parlour. This adjoining room has been significantly altered in the mid-20th century but retains large arched recesses flanking the grate and remnants of steeply chamfered beams. There is a depressed four-centred arch doorframe in a cupboard above the partition between the kitchen and parlour. The northeast wing features a timber-framed partition with brick nogging. The roof trusses were not visible but are likely to have been replaced when the roof was raised.
