Description
Sychnant Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has an attached farm building, which has been converted into Sychnant Cottage. The farmhouse features a pebbledashed exterior and a slate roof, with a 'T'-shaped plan that includes a three-bay main range with the main stack at the lower end, and a rear range, likely built at the same time, also with three bays that now serves as the kitchen. There is a central boarded door leading to a cross passage, with a parlour located at the uphill end, heated by a gable stack that has two diagonally set stone flues. A window with a stone drip is positioned beside the stack. The farmhouse has three-light windows with chamfered lintels and cut stops, along with 19th-century raised and gabled dormers featuring four-pane sash windows. The rear wing contains timber casement windows with drip stone hoods and a 19th-century door leading to the yard.
Sychnant Cottage, which was originally a three-bay cowhouse, has a doorway with a very heavy frame and a boarded door, adorned with recent cover strips, situated against the house gable, indicating its longhouse origins. There is an added gable stack and a lean-to toilet. At the time of inspection in July 1995, the lower gable stack had not been opened up but was reported to be large, containing an internal oven and a blocked door that leads into the former cowhouse. The parlour features chamfered cross beams.
