Description

Sommerton Farmhouse is a house from the later 18th century, likely built for the Stackpole estate. It features whitewashed rubble stone with a slate roof and a brick stack at the north end. The front of the house is designed in a picturesque style, with a canted two-storey layout, a hipped roof, and long, narrow six-pane windows on the south and southeast sections, while the southwest section is blank. The west wall has a lean-to with a similar window at the south end, and the east side also has a lean-to, which is fronted by a castellated wall and a later castellated porch. The rear roof is hipped.

The design of the building appears to be influenced by picturesque cottage styles from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, suggesting it may have originally had matching wings, with the castellated features possibly added later. Sommerton is noted as a property of the Whites of Henllan in the 16th century and is depicted on the 1787 Cawdor estate map, which shows the unusual semi-circular rear garden.
