Description

Church Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse, possibly originally two cottages, dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed from roughly cut and squared ham stone with ashlar dressings, and features double Roman clay tiled roofs between high stepped coped gables that suggest it may have once had a thatched roof. The building has brick chimney stacks at both ends and in the middle.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has four bays. The upper floor has 2-light horizontal-bar casement windows, while the ground floor features plain mullioned windows with beaded and architraved surrounds, except for the third bay which has no window. Between the first and second bays, there is an ashlar stone gabled porch with a Welsh slate roof, a chamfered cambered-arched doorway, and a 20th-century copy of this doorway in the third bay, which has a 19th-century door in the former and a part-glazed door in the latter. There is also a lean-to garage against the north gable.

The interior has not been seen, but it is reported to have an original two-room plan with gable fireplaces, and a third room was added later in the 18th or early 19th century.
