Farm Estate Farmhouse

Farm Estate Farmhouse is a house that dates back to the 15th century, with flooring added in the 16th century and embellishments from the 17th and 18th centuries. It was refronted in the late 19th century. The building is constructed from coursed and squared blue lias rubble, featuring coped verges and slate roofs, some of which have cresting along the ridge, as well as brick stacks. The house has an E-plan layout with a Gothic-style frontage, standing two storeys tall with an attic. It has a symmetrical arrangement of bays with a total of four, including two and three-light chamfered stone-mullioned windows, most of which have transoms. There are single-storey, four-light canted bay windows on the second and third bays from the left, with corresponding windows in gabled half dormers on the first floor. The central door opening is framed by a chamfered dressed stone surround and features a label with floral stops above a plank door.

To the left of the main structure, there is a three-bay wing that includes some two and three-light ovolo-moulded mullioned windows, with iron stanchions, one of which has leaded lights. The garden frontage is E-shaped and predominantly features late 19th-century casements with two and three lights, while the right wing has a projecting bread oven.

Inside, the farmhouse has a particularly rich interior with cruck construction roofs. The room to the right on the ground floor has a moulded and plastered cross-beam ceiling, along with a fireplace that has a chamfered wooden bressumer and stone jambs. In the rear wing, there is a room with an ornamental plaster ceiling dating to around 1700 in a Baroque style, decorated with fruit swags, cherubs, and masks. Adjacent to this room is a contemporary staircase featuring a moulded and ramped handrail and turned balusters. There is also some 17th-century plasterwork on the first floor, along with another fireplace that has a broad wooden bressumer and two 17th-century doors with moulded architraves nearby.
