Main Farmbuilding Group On North Side Of Road

The main farmbuilding group on the north side of the road in Stannington Glororum dates from the early 19th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century and late 19th to early 20th century covered yards. The front is constructed from squared, tooled stone, while the rear is made of rubble, featuring tooled-and-margined dressings. The covered yard is supported by timber on cast-iron piers and has Welsh slate roofs. The ranges surrounding the yard are open to the south, with a central detached loose box; a smithy extends west from the west range and a barn, with an engine house running north from the center of the north range.

The north range is two storeys high and features two pairs of elliptical arches, with a boarded door between and slatted windows above. The single-storey byres on the east and stables on the west have boarded doors and part-slatted windows. The south end of the byre range has slit vents, while the stable range includes a boarded door and a central loose box with double boarded doors beneath an elliptical arch. All three gables have coping on deep footstones. The taller gables of the covered yard, located on either side of the loose box, have vertical boarding above the stone wall, with the boards shaped at the base and extending over segmental-arched yard entrances. The roof ridges are slightly raised, with vents on the sides.

The smithy features two boarded double doors and two part-slatted windows, along with a stepped and banded stack on the coped west gable. The barn has boarded doors and pitching doors, while the engine house displays an iron-framed flue centered on the former stack and coped gables on deep footstones.

Adjacent 20th-century sheds and outbuildings are not of special interest.
