Description

This is an early 19th-century linear farm complex. It is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and quoins, with roofs of stone flags. A corrugated asbestos roof covers a later extension to the left. The complex comprises five buildings of 4, 3, 2, 3, and 2 bays respectively, with an additional one-bay, one-storey extension on the left that has no openings. The four-bay cow-house has three Dutch doors protected by flat stone lintels, two ground-floor openings, one glazed, and a flat stone lintel over the passage entry at the far right. It also has three loft openings, two boarded and one hit-and-miss. The adjoining three-bay house has flat stone lintels over a central boarded door and to renewed plain sashes with slightly projecting stone sills. The lower two-bay house adjacent to it has a similar door on the left and a 12-pane sash with a flat stone lintel on the right. The parts further right are a single two-build house, the first continuing with the previously described two-bay section and sharing its roof. This section features a boarded door to the left of centre and windows either side with horizontal glazing bars, all with flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills. The higher right-end build has a round step leading to a boarded door on the left, a 12-pane sash above, and 16-pane sashes in the right bay, all set within tooled raised stone surrounds and pecked quoins. Each house has end chimneys.
