Houghton House

Houghton House is a farmhouse and hand's cottage that has been converted into one house, dating from the mid-18th century. The front is made of coursed squared sandstone, while the other sides are constructed from rubble, featuring quoins and ashlar dressings. The roof is pantiled, although the front slope has been replaced with concrete tiles, and there are brick chimneys. The building has two storeys and four wide bays. There is a plain stone surround to a low partly-glazed door in the second bay, and the windows have thin stone lintels and shallow reveals, with most being late 19th-century sashes, though two have 20th-century glazing. The steeply-pitched roof includes four ridge chimneys. At the rear, there is a full-width one-storey outshut under a catslide roof and gabled dormers. Inside, one first-floor room features a lugged moulded chimney piece, there are two-panel doors, and a stone stair is located in the first-bay cottage.
