Description
Richmond Farmhouse is an early 19th century, single-storey farmhouse with a basement and attic, featuring three symmetrical bays. The front (south) elevation showcases a channelled and rusticated basement, an ashlar string course between the basement and ground floor, and squared and coursed granite above. The north, east, and west elevations are rendered.
The south elevation faces a large garden enclosed by a granite rubble stone wall. The central bay is slightly advanced and gabled, featuring a small blind arrowslit opening at the gable apex. Granite steps with replacement railings lead to the entrance, which has a replacement partially glazed timber door. The basement windows are set into semi-circular ashlar granite light wells.
On the rear (north) elevation, there are a pair of attic dormer windows and a flat-roofed porch on the far right bay, which has internal steps leading down to the basement. The east gable includes a central entrance porch with a piended roof.
The roof is pitched and covered with grey slates, featuring a later central rooflight on both the front and rear pitches. The gables have straight ashlar granite skews with cavetto skewputts, and each gable has a coped chimney stack, both with 19th century octagonal cans and replacement cans. Throughout the farmhouse, there are replacement timber sash and case lying pane windows.
The interior of the farmhouse was observed in 2017. The raised ground floor is symmetrically arranged and features early 19th century skirting boards, dado rail, picture rail, timber doors with architraves, timber shutters, and cornicing in all rooms and the hallway. The hallway also has decorative floral plaster mouldings on the ceiling. The living room includes a chimneypiece with rounded timber mouldings along the edge. No features from the 19th century decorative scheme were noted in the basement and attic interiors.
