Description
Tarbrax is a farmhouse built in the earlier to mid 19th century. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure that is harled, featuring stone margins and quoin strips, as well as stone mullions.
The southwest elevation is symmetrical, with a pitch-roofed porch at the center bay that has a finial. This porch conceals a two-leaf door with stencilled glass and a four-pane fanlight. There are windows in the flanking bays and a regular arrangement of windows close to the eaves on the first floor.
On the northeast elevation, there is a bay to the left of center that has a slightly lower gabled bay projecting from the main block. This side has a window to the right at ground level and another window in the gablehead. There is also a blank single-storey gable projecting to the right of center, with a timber link that has a door to the center bay and a shouldered wallhead stack behind.
The northwest elevation features a broad gabled bay to the right with a window on each floor to the left, and a blank single-storey bay to the outer left.
On the southeast elevation, there is a broad gable to the left with a small window to the outer right at ground level, and a lower bay beyond to the right that has a bipartite window.
The windows throughout the building have a four-pane glazing pattern and are made of timber sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with some thackstanes and cans, along with plain bargeboarding.
Additionally, there is a small rubble outbuilding with a corrugated-iron roof located to the northwest, and the property is enclosed by coped rubble boundary walls.
