Capitol Farmhouse including garden walls to the south probably 18th century with an earlier rear wing, re-windowed in the 19th century. Colourwashed rendered stone rubble with a slate roof with deep eaves, gabled at ends; end stacks, projecting lateral stack to rear wing with a bread oven. Late 19th century stone rubble garden wall. Plan: Adjacent to the churchyard and facing the village. Single-depth south-facing main range, 2 rooms wide with heated rooms on either side of a central entrance passage facing the stair. Rear kitchen wing at right angles to the main range with a lower roofline may be earlier. Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 4-bay front with a central gabled porch and a 20th century 2-leaf front door. Porch flanked by 19th century 16-pane sashes, 4 first floor 2-light 19th or 20th century timber casements with glazing bars. The wing has a massive projecting stack on the west elevation with a bread oven. Stone rubble wall to the garden south and west of the farmhouse is probably contemporary with the 1870s planned farmyard to the west. Interior: Open fireplace to left hand room. Roof not inspected but may be of interest. Group value with the church, churchyard walls and the planned farmyard. Other details: LBS No 97589.
