Description
Village Farm is a three-window, symmetrical house of two storeys, an attic, and a cellar, likely dating to the 18th century. It has a hipped slate roof with two large end stacks and a full-height projection for the staircase to the rear. The exterior is rough cast with angle pilaster strips, and the windows have eared architraves. A 20th-century, half-glazed, gabled porch leads to a wide, panelled, ribbed front door, flanked by a two-light casement window to the left and French doors to the right, all in a matching style. The first floor has three similar windows, and the attic has three hipped roof dormers with two-light casement windows. The south gable end abuts the adjacent house.
The rear elevation features a full-height stair projection with a hipped slate roof and two-light casement stairlights containing quarries on both the first and attic storeys. A single-storey lean-to with a hipped tiled roof and a side door leads to the rear door. This lean-to abuts a larger, two-story lean-to constructed from rubble masonry under a single-pitch slate roof, which extends to the southeast angle of the house; the ground floor window is protected by a stone dripmould. Both lean-to structures have 20th-century windows in differing styles. To the right of the stair projection are a pair of metal-framed French doors, which replaced an earlier window matching those in the stair projection. A former barn adjoins the north side, now converted to garages and holiday accommodation, and includes attic dormers.
The interior is arranged in three units. A central stair hall is flanked by reception rooms. The kitchen is located within the rear lean-to. A dog-leg staircase is positioned opposite the front entrance, featuring substantial square-section handrails, large square newel posts with orb finials and pendants, and turned balusters. A door to the cellar, which has a flagstone floor, is located beside the staircase. Near the top of the cellar stairs is a former window opening containing six turned mullions matching the main staircase balusters. The room to the south has chamfered cross beams and a large stone fireplace with a chamfered stone lintel, splayed, chamfered sides, a wooden lintel above, and a wide stone hearth. The unit to the north has a 20th-century fireplace, although older woodwork is visible behind it. The front door has long decorative strap hinges on its internal side. The stairlight between the ground and first floors has a chamfered timber mullion, and the quarries contain early glass. A half-lit door within a fluted frame under a round arch is located off the landing to the south. The rooms on the first floor are entered through planked doors and have exposed ceiling beams without chamfers. The attic stairlight has a plain central mullion with quarries similar to those on the floor below. The roof is steeply pitched and has coupled rafters.
