Description
Church Farmhouse is a two-storey building dating from the 18th century, constructed with local limestone rubble walls that have rendered cladding, painted on the main elevation, and topped with a Welsh slate roof. The structure has a long single-depth range with a continuous rear outshut. The front elevation features five windows and two doors on the ground floor, along with seven windows on the upper floor.
The older south-west wing has a roughly central baffle entry accessed through a porch with pebbledash walls and a modern Gothic door. To the left of the porch, there is a 2-pane casement window and a sash window with 6 over 6 panes, as well as two first-floor sash windows, both with 2 over 2 panes. To the right of the porch, there is a 6 over 6 sash window and a sash window with 2 over 2 panes above. The converted in-line cowshed wing to the right has the same roofline and features a ground floor with a sash window with 6 over 6 panes, a 2-light casement, and a modern half-glazed door, along with three 2-light casements on the first floor. The older left-hand wing has three stacks: one on the gable, one behind the entrance, and one at the division between the original house and the cowshed.
The rear elevation includes a catslide roof over the former cowshed, which slopes down to a low wall with two doors, one likely leading to the dairy. The house section has a continuous outshut with a small 2 over 2 pane sash window above.
Inside, the south-west ground floor room, formerly the Hall and Inner Room, features a north-east middle beam with a deep chamfer and straight stops with fillet, as well as a moulded north-east wall beam that has been reused. The fireplace has a deep chimney breast, an old wood bressumer, and a bread oven, flanked by fireplace stairs with a stone corbelled roof. There is a ledged door from this room leading to the baffle entry vestibule. The kitchen is described as featureless, with a wall broken through to a featureless cowhouse. The upper floor was not seen during the resurvey.
