Description
Darvole Farm House is a late 16th-century farmhouse built of local stone rubble with Ham stone dressings, featuring a rendered south face. It has a thatched roof with plain verges and brick end chimney stacks. The house is two storeys high with an attic and has 16th-century outshuts to the north. The south elevation has three bays, with hollow chamfer mullioned windows that have large rectangular leaded panes. The ground floor windows are five-light, while the upper ones are four-light, all under a continuous label, with separate labels above. There is a central camber-arched doorway beneath a very deep lintel, flanked by two half-height buttresses that are not bonded in.
To the west, there is a thatched two-storey outbuilding with a plain opening on the ground floor and worn stone steps leading to the first floor. The east gable of the house features two eaves-height offset buttresses, a timber casement on the ground floor, a two-light mullioned window on the first floor, and a three-light window in the attic. The north elevation has three-light mullioned windows, one of which is marked 'Milk House,' indicating its historical significance as a relic of the Window Tax Exemption. Although the interior is not accessible, the layout appears largely unchanged, with some surviving chamfered beams and modern fireplaces installed.
