Description
This early 19th-century farmhouse is designed in the Regency style and stands two storeys tall. It features a slated hipped roof with two brick chimneystacks at either end and has rendered elevations. The front facade is three windows wide, with a central doorway that includes a four-panelled door topped by a semi-circular fanlight. On the ground floor, there are twelve-paned sash windows without horns flanking the doorway, while the first floor has three narrower four-paned sashes with horns, all arranged symmetrically.
At the rear, there is a late 19th-century parallel range that extends beyond the east gable of the main house. This addition is built from local rubblestone with redbrick dressings and features some four-paned sashes with horns on the first floor. The roadside elevation of this range includes several sash windows, some of which have been replaced, including a Yorkshire sliding sash on the ground floor. The rear of the property has been extended further in more recent times.
The front garden is enclosed by a wall that includes an early 19th-century cast iron gate and flanking fixed panels featuring an anthemion design. The farmhouse has a symmetrical floorplan with a central hallway leading to the earlier range, which has now been subdivided into two self-contained units. The interior has been modernised, but some 19th-century pine plank doors and window shutters remain in the front ground floor rooms.
