Description
Lookout Farmhouse, dating from the 17th century and remodelled in the mid-18th century, features a rear wing that was heightened in the late 19th century. The front is constructed of squared stone with tooled dressings, while the returns and outbuildings are made of rubble, and the rear wing is partly built of snecked stone. The building has a blue slate roof and is designed in an L shape, with two storeys and three symmetrical bays.
The central entrance consists of a flush-panelled door with a two-pane overlight, framed by a 19th-century raised stone surround that includes pilasters and a cornice. The windows are 12-pane sashes, with the lower ones set in inserted stone surrounds. The building features stepped and banded end stacks, and the returns display stepped gables with a pedimented raised centre-piece, which includes a blind lunette above a band. The right return has two small attic windows below the band, and to the right is the rear wing, which contains one ground-floor 12-pane sash window set in a double-chamfered surround of a 17th-century mullioned window.
To the left of the house is an outbuilding with a coped left gable, featuring a boarded door and double doors at the rear, both under timber lintels. The stepped pedimented gables reflect the influence of Vanbrugh's style, similar to that seen at Seaton Delaval Hall.
