Description
Castle Farm is a later 19th century, two-storey farmhouse with an L-plan layout and gabled roof. The exterior features stugged snecked rubble and stugged ashlar dressings with droved margins, topped by a slate roof. Notable elements include cast-iron ventilator grilles set diagonally in margined ashlar blocks at the ground level on the south and east elevations. The windows are a mix of single and paired designs, with gable dormerheads that break through the eaves, and they feature plate glass sash and case glazing, hoodmoulds with label stops, and deep eaves with exposed purlin ends and plain bargeboards. The building also has cast-iron rainwater goods and ridge and end stacks with tall cans.
On the west elevation, there is a gable on the right with a single-storey entrance porch that projects from the left. To the right of the porch is a window and a panelled door with a fanlight, which has a stepped hoodmould. The gable features windows on both the ground and first floors, while the left return elevation has a window on the first floor. There is a recessed bay to the left, with a later lean-to at the re-entrant and a window on the first floor. A single-storey L-plan service block is recessed to the far left, featuring a door and various windows under a piended roof.
The south elevation consists of three bays, with a window on the ground floor and a dormer-headed window on the first floor in the centre bay. The right side has a slightly advanced gable with a canted window that has chamfered margins and a half-piended roof on the ground floor, and a bipartite window on the first floor. The left gable has a bipartite window on the ground floor and a single window on the first floor.
The east elevation has two windows on the ground floor, a window in the gable on the first floor to the left, and two dormer-headed windows to the right. There is also a single-storey lean-to block at the far right with two windows.
The north elevation features a border-glazed stair window to the right of an irregular M-gable, which is partly obscured by the lower service block. The interior has not been seen.
