Mayfield Farmhouse

Mayfield Farmhouse is largely of the early 19th century, with possible origins in the late 18th century, and has undergone later additions and alterations. It is a symmetrical, two-storey, three-bay farmhouse built in a plain classical style, with a two-storey and single-storey wing with an attic at the rear, creating an L-shaped layout. A lean-to porch has been added to the re-entrant angle at the rear, and a lean-to conservatory adjoins one side of the main house. The exterior is dry-dashed with painted sandstone dressings, including narrow quoin strips, painted margins, and projecting cills. Single-storey ancillary structures are located to the north.

The south-east (entrance) elevation features steps leading to a deep-set timber door located centrally at ground level, above which is an original fanlight with diagonally-crossed astragals. A single window is positioned above the door at the first floor. Single windows are present at both floors in the flanking bays. A lean-to conservatory is attached to the outer right.

The south-west (side) elevation displays the main two-storey, two-bay block, featuring single windows at ground floor in both bays. Above, a single window is positioned at first floor, offset to the left of centre, and another at the outer left. A lower wing is adjoined to the outer left.

The north-west (rear) elevation has a gabled projection to the outer right, containing single windows at both floors. A lean-to porch adjoins the left side. The main house features a stair window at the centre, with two small windows at ground level in bays to the left, and a single window at first floor in the bay to the outer left.

The north-east (side) elevation shows a lean-to conservatory projecting at ground level, a blind window at first floor, and a further single-storey, mono-pitched block adjoining the outer right.

The windows are timber sash and case windows with 8 and 12 panes of glass. The roof is grey slate, piended in shape, with rendered wallhead stacks and various circular cans. Cast-iron rainwater goods are present.

The interior was not inspected in 1998.

Two ancillary structures are present on the site. The first, to the north-west, is a single-storey, rectangular structure built from harl-pointed rubble. It has boarded timber doors and square-headed openings at the rear. A steeply pitched pantile roof with stone-coped skews, a corniced, brick-built stack with a circular can are also present. The interior was not inspected in 1998. The second ancillary structure, to the north-east, is a mono-pitched rubble building with a pantile roof. The interior was not inspected in 1998.

Rubble-coped, heavily-pointed rubble walls partially enclose the site. Squared coping is used on red brick walls enclosing the garden to the north-east.
