Description
Northfield Farm is a late 18th to early 19th century farmhouse and steading, reconstructed in the second quarter of the 19th century, incorporating existing buildings. It is constructed of whitewashed rubble with ashlar dressings, featuring contrasting margins, and the roofs are mostly covered with graded slates.
The farmhouse closes the steading court to the south and is two storeys high with three bays, including a central doorway and sash windows. It has end stacks and a central full-height gabled square bay facing the courtyard, with single-storey lean-tos on either side.
The steading consists of ranges built around an open court, with the western range linked to the house. The eastern range of the courtyard is raised to two storeys and is L-shaped, returning east with a two-bay cartshed that faces the roadway. The blank walls of the northern and western ranges face the roadways at the road junction.
