Description
The farm buildings to the east of Mortham Tower, likely built in the late 18th century, form a planned foldyard group. They are constructed from coursed rubble with cut quoins and tooled-and-margined dressings, topped with graduated stone slate roofs. The buildings are arranged around a yard that is open to the east.
Each single-storey side range features a central elliptical arch flanked by three-bay round arcades, with all arches keyed, although some are blocked. The ranges also include boarded doors and small windows. The east ends of the buildings display boarded double doors beneath timber lintels and have hip-ended roofs. The rear of the north range has two elliptical arches and slit vents.
The west range contains a two-storey barn at its center, which has a central boarded door that reuses the lintel from a two-light mullioned window, along with two tiers of slit vents and a pitching door to the left. The single-storey sections on either side of the barn have boarded doors and blocked openings. The barn's rear elevation features a central elliptical arch with white brick voussoirs beneath a boarded pitching door and a part-slatted loft window.
Enclosing walls with flat slab coping and roughly-shaped monolith gate piers are located to the east of the yard, forming enclosures within the yard.
