Blades Field Farmhouse And Attached Outbuilding To East

Blades Field Farmhouse, dated 1761 for C.L. Whitell Esq., is a house made of squared stone with cut dressings, accompanied by an attached outbuilding constructed of coursed rubble. The roofs are covered with graduated stone slates. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has three symmetrical bays. It features a central renewed door and 4-pane sash windows, some of which are from the late 19th century and lack intermediate glazing bars, all set in raised stone surrounds. The gables are coped and supported by moulded kneelers, with a stepped and corniced stack on the right end and a rebuilt stack on the left. The left side of the house shows a blocked ground-floor window.

The lower outbuilding, set back to the right, has a stone external stair leading to a boarded door on its right side. The rear elevation includes a pent porch with a boarded door in a stone surround on the right side and a 6-pane fixed window on the left. To the left, there is a 16-pane Yorkshire sash window, while the other windows are 4-pane sashes, all in irregular stone surrounds. The rear of the outbuilding features an old stone trough in a recess with a projecting capstone. The attached outbuilding to the west of the house has been altered and is not of special interest.
