farm house

Detached four-bay two-storey farmhouse with dormer attic, c.1900, probably incorporating fabric of earlier ranges, pre-1840, on site with single-bay single-storey flat-roofed advanced porch to ground floor. Now disused. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stack, rendered coping, and cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Flat concrete roof to porch with concrete blocking course over. Unpainted rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with concrete sills, and two-over-two timber sash windows (most now boarded-up). Square-headed door opening (now boarded-up). Set back from road in own grounds perpendicular to road with unpainted roughcast boundary wall over random rubble stone construction having chamfered coping, square-headed pedestrian opening having tongue-and-groove timber panelled door, and roughcast piers having iron double gates. (ii) Detached four-bay single-storey outbuilding, c.1900, probably incorporating fabric of earlier ranges, pre-1840, on site. Now disused. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, and no rainwater goods. Unpainted roughcast walls over random rubble stone construction. Square-headed openings with concealed dressings, and timber fittings.

Occupying the position of earlier ranges indicated on archival editions of the Ordnance Survey, thereby continuing a long-standing occupation of the site, a farmhouse of modest architectural aspirations retains the original composition attributes together with much of the historic fabric despite having fallen into disrepair following a period of disuse. An attendant outbuilding range of modest, almost vernacular quality enhances the group and setting values of the site in the local rural landscape.
