Description

The former farmhouse to the west of Snowhope Close Farmhouse is a late 17th-century building now used for storage. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with some quoins and painted ashlar dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The structure has two storeys and features three bays on each side. The left three bays, likely once a byre, include a central door with a plain stone surround and a renewed window to the right, which is set under a flat stone lintel. The house section has a central boarded door within a wide stone surround, low three-light windows in the outer bays, and a single light window above the door, all featuring chamfered stone mullions and surrounds. The roof is low-pitched and has end chimneys on the house part.
