Description
Aimster Farmhouse is a late 18th or early 19th century, two-storey house with an attic and a symmetrical three-bay front that faces south. The exterior is fully rendered. The central entrance features a round-headed design with a simple fanlight above it. The centre bay has a wallhead gable, which includes a small attic window and an apex stack.
At the west gable, there is a single-storey kitchen extension that is set back from the main frontage and consists of a wide single bay. The rear of the house has a projecting centre stairwell that is encased by a later lean-to structure running the full length of the rear elevation. The windows have 12-pane glazing, and the house features corniced end stacks and a slate roof.
