Description
Village Farm House is a two-storey building constructed of stone rubble, featuring some dressed or tooled stone at the quoins and surrounds, with a rendered rear. It has mostly 20th-century concrete window surrounds and an artificial slate roof, which includes a low rendered central ridge stack that marks the former division between the house and barn. The building has a long rectangular shape with a long street frontage and a lower cross wing at the rear right, which has a large end stack.
The house features concrete two-light windows designed in a 17th-century style on each floor, and there is a stone doorway at each end of the former two-bay house wing on the right. The right doorway is a 19th-century version that is chamfered, round-arched, and tooled with a keystone. The left doorway, accessed by two steps, is Tudor-arched and chamfered, both doorways having recessed replaced doors. Additionally, there is a further 19th-century Tudor-arched doorway with a keystone located at the former barn front mid-left.
The left gable end of the house has an earlier relieving arch above a 20th-century window, along with two ventilation slits at the ground floor and one in the apex, and a plinth. The right gable end retains a small rectangular chamfered light on the first floor and a segmental arched opening at the ground floor.
