What is recorded here
Detached three-bay two-storey farm house, built c.1840, with single-storey addition to rear, forming continuous cat slide roof with original house. Recent porch to front (south). Pitched slate roof with uPVC rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings to front with six-over-six timber sliding sash windows and concrete sills. Square-headed openings with timber fixed pane windows and concrete sills to rear. Pitched roof outbuilding attached to east gable. Outbuildings to rear (north).
The form of this appealing building is typical of a prosperous farmer's house in the nineteenth century. Its centrally-located door, symmetrical fenestration and gable-end chimneystacks create a formality which indicates that the builder was influenced by the classical tradition, rather than the local vernacular. The retention of six-over-six timber sliding sash windows and slate roof help maintain the building's traditional character. The related outbuildings adds to the setting and context.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
