Description
Kentsford Farmhouse is likely a late medieval house that was largely rebuilt in the early 17th century, with further alterations in the late 17th to early 18th century. It was originally the seat of the Wyndham family. The building features roughcast render with dressed stone quoins, a ripped slate roof, ridge tiles, and brick chimney stacks. It is two stories high with attics and has an irregular L-shaped plan. The main front faces southwest and is divided into two sections.
On the right side, there are three windows on the first floor: one 16th-century three-light stone mullioned casement window with leaded lights and a hood mould, along with two late 17th-century mullion and transom cross windows, which are casements with lead glazing. Below these, the ground floor has two 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars and exposed frames. To the left, there is a 17th-century projecting gabled porch featuring a semi-circular stone arch with moulded arch rings and imposts. The left section of the front projects forward and has two three-light casement windows with leaded lights.
Inside, the interior has been significantly altered, but the rear bedroom retains a plaster ceiling with a design of thin moulded ribs in a geometric pattern featuring Tudor roses and thistles, along with a late 17th-century fireplace with bolection moulding. There is a similar larger fireplace in the ground floor front room.
