What is recorded here

Detached seven-bay two-storey farmhouse, built c.1830, with lean-to extension to rear. Set within its own grounds. Pitched slate roof with roughcast rendered chimneystacks, terracotta pots and some cast-iron rainwater goods. Pebbledashed render to walls with smooth plinth and eaves course. Continuous sill course to first floor. Rendered window openings with replacement casement windows and stone sills. Round-headed door opening with spider web fanlight and timber panelled door. Pebbledashed wall to immediate front of house with timber gate. Pitched random coursed outbuildings to rear yard with wrought-iron gate.
This substantial farmhouse represents the adaptation of classical architecture to the vernacular tradition. The fenestration and round-headed fanlight, a particularly noteworthy feature in the otherwise plain façade, enliven the façade. The house and outbuildings form an interesting group of farm related structures.
