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.
