Description
Drumfin Farmhouse, dated 1836, is a Tudor-style farmhouse featuring both single and two-storey sections with four bays and later additions. The building is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings, a base course, and chamfered openings. The principal elevation showcases a pedimented door.
On the south elevation, to the left, there is a one-bay, two-storey section with a piended roof, featuring a canted bay window at ground level and a bipartite mullioned window above. To the right, a recessed symmetrical three-bay section includes a central advanced gabled doorcase adorned with scroll-bracketed skewputts, a star, a blank shield, and a datestone from 1836. The entrance features a timber six-panel door with a simple rectangular six-pane fanlight above, flanked by a pair of bipartite windows with gableheads that break the eaves, which also have blind arrowslits. There are raised gable skews to the far right.
The west elevation consists of two bays. The north elevation features a three-bay section to the right and an advanced one-bay gable to the left, with a recessed addition that forms a catslide roof. A wing set at right angles is obscured by a later one-bay brick piend-roofed addition.
The east elevation forms a small courtyard with a two-bay section that has a bipartite window on the right. To the left is an advanced single-bay gable with a bipartite window, and to the right is a one-bay section with a two-bay re-entrant angle that includes an entrance door.
The farmhouse has timber sash and case windows, predominantly with twelve lying panes and original glazing. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and there are impressive ashlar corniced polygonal stacks, along with a short brick corniced gablehead stack on the east elevation.
Inside, the farmhouse features six-panel timber doors. Rooms with gableheaded windows have combed ceilings, while other rooms have plain cornices. One ground floor timber door has an etched glass upper panel depicting a vase of flowers.
