Description

Dry Gill West Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1829. It is constructed from coursed, roughly-squared sandstone with painted ashlar dressings and quoins. The roof is stone-flagged and features a yellow brick chimney. The building has a symmetrical design, consisting of a two-storey, one-bay central block flanked by one-storey, one-bay set-back wings. The windows are sashes with glazing bars, each having flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills. There is a blind window in the right wing with tooled dressings. The roof is hipped, and there is a small pent addition on the left. A brick addition on the left front is not of interest.
