Description
Edwinsford Home Farm is an early to mid-18th century cow-house with a farmhouse to the east, which was rebuilt in 1822, forming an L-shaped plan. The building is constructed of rubble with a stone tiled roof that is hipped at the angle between the two-storey farmhouse and the earlier one-and-a-half-storey cow-house. The farmhouse features a wooden cornice supported by consoles and has a northern gable stack made of rubble with stone tabling. Its front has four window openings without doors, featuring 12-pane hornless sash windows with cambered stone voussoired heads and stone sills. The right gable end has 12-pane sashes (one on the ground floor, one for the stair, and two above) along with a 19th-century half-glazed door, all with cambered stone voussoired heads. The rear of the farmhouse has 12-pane sashes (two above and two below) and a small 4-pane casement on the ground floor left, with similar heads. There is an open rubble porch at the corner with a 20th-century door and a timber lintel.
The long south front has eight bays, with five bays on the left retained as a cow-house during the 1822 remodelling. This section features a central boarded door and two early 19th-century hornless sashes on each side, all with cambered heads and stone voussoirs. An engraving by Sandby suggests that the current openings were once doorways. There is a doorway to the right with a similar head and a 20th-century door, as well as a 20th-century bow window adjacent with a 12-pane sash on the extreme right. Two hipped dormers from the 19th century have slated sides and 12-pane sashes. A planked door on the gable has a similar head, and there is a loop overhead. The rear elevation features doorways at the ends and center, with planked doors and similar heads. There is a blocked cart-entry on the extreme right and a blocked low doorway to the left of the westernmost door, both with similar heads.
The interior was only briefly inspected, revealing an inglenook in the drawing room with a large timber bressumer. There are six-panel doors and panelled window shutters in the drawing room, dining room, and kitchen. The former cow-house has a massive collar-beam roof with rough trusses and pegged collars, and scarfed wall-posts resting on a cut-off beam.
