Description

Kingston Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the early 17th century but has been extensively rebuilt and reroofed in the early 19th century. It was also refenestrated and restored in 1984. The exterior is rendered over rubble, with some cob in the outshot, and features a slate roof, boxed eaves on the facade, and brick stacks at the gable ends and center right.

The layout is probably a three-cell design with a cross passage, and a subsidiary entrance has been added in the former kitchen end bay on the right. The rear outshots have been raised to two stories, possibly including a stair turret. The farmhouse has two stories and a four-window frontage, all featuring late 20th-century three-light leaded wooden casements that are said to be replicas of earlier windows. There is a plank door with a light in the unlit end bay on the right, and the entrance is located in the second bay on the left, featuring a six-panel door with a rectangular light above and a renewed flat-roofed porch supported by chamfered square columns.

The interior has only been partially observed, but it includes a 19th-century kingpost roof, a kitchen with a chamfered bressumer beam, and a chamfered beam with step and run-out stops that were reused when the ceiling was raised. The positioning of the kitchen, where one would typically expect the inner room, is noted as unusual. The house is said to have been rebuilt after a fire.
