2/3 Collin's Farmhouse
-
GV II

Farmhouse. Probably C17 with C18 addition, altered in C19. Rubble walls, partly
rendered. Hipped roof to front block, half-hipped to rear wing. 2 rendered stacks
at rear of front block, axial to rear wings. Cut off gable end rubble stack to each
rear wing.
Original plan of house unclear - the 2 rear wings at right angles to each other are
probably C17 with a stair projection in the angle although the original stairs have
been removed and the internal room arrangement considerably altered. In the circa
late C18 a new rectangular plan front block was added consisting of 2 principal
rooms, one either side of a stairhall with a larger room to the left. The house was
altered internally in the C19.
3 storeys. Asymmetrical 3 window front, openings disposed to the right. One window
to ground floor. Circa early C19 12 pane hornless sashes, 9 panes to 2nd floor
windows. Ground floor right hand and 2nd floor left hand windows are later
facsimiles. Probably C19 6 panel door to right of centre under C18 heavy doorhood
with simply moulded cornice. 2 rear wings, are parallel behind left hand side and
at right angles behind the right hand side; the latter has a rectangular stair
projection on its inner face.
Interior: Few original features visible in rear wing, some may be concealed.
Features in front block appear to date mainly from mid C19: panelled shutters,
staircase has open string with stick balusters.
