Farmhouse, Champfleurie Home Farm

This is a farmhouse, part of Champfleurie Home Farm, built in 1845. It was originally a U-plan steading, designed with Tudor Revival details, and has subsequently been altered for residential use. The building is constructed of cream-coloured stugged coursed sandstone rubble, with the west-facing (principal) elevation of the west range being squared.

The west range is a two-storey former stable block. The west elevation has 11 symmetrical bays, with a moulded string course and crenellated parapet. The centre three bays are slightly advanced and taller, and there are gabled end bays. A door is centrally located, with further doors to the second and fourth bays on the right and to the left. Blocked doors are visible in each end bay, and all other bays incorporate bipartite windows on both ground and first floors. The east (courtyard) elevation, with 13 bays, features three Tudor-arched carriage arches in the centre, a bipartite window with a wooden mullion above (formerly a hayloft), and six bays to the left with a door flanked by windows in each bay. To the right are four bays, with a door and window in each two bays, and a small bipartite window above the door on the far right. Ground floor windows have eight panes; first-floor windows on the west elevation have six panes. The courtyard east elevation features a mix of eight-pane and 12-pane sash and case windows, with the carriage archway glazed.

The north range is a single-storey structure. Its north elevation has nine asymmetrical bays, with doors to the second and fifth bays from the right. A round-headed arch on the outer left has been glazed in to create a window. The south (courtyard) elevation is asymmetrical with six bays, containing doors in the first, second and fifth bays from the left.

The east range is also single-storey. Its west (courtyard) elevation has three asymmetrical bays and connects to buildings arranged at right angles, forming a U-plan. A two-storey house has a gabled west elevation and a bipartite window at first floor level. It incorporates ashlar coped skews, ball finials to the skewputts, a tall stack to the right, and single-storey wings to the north and south gabled end walls, connected by a wall with a door leading to the main courtyard.

The windows throughout are sash and case. A grey slate roof covers the structure, with Velux rooflights to the courtyard. Ashlar coped and moulded skews are present, along with blocked skewputts. A group of three moulded and coped polygonal ashlar stacks are situated on the gables of the central three-bay block.

Historic records from 1845 described the steading as “in the course of erection” and “very superior”.
