Elyhaugh Farmhouse

Elyhaugh Farmhouse is a house dated 1732, built for Thomas and Elizabeth Lisle, with a later 18th or early 19th century rear wing, and further extensions and alterations in the late 19th or early 20th century. The front is built of squared stone, while the other elevations are of rubble stone with snecked stone extensions. The front roof slopes have red tiles, and other parts have Welsh slate. The stacks have been rebuilt in brick.

The south elevation has two storeys and six bays, arranged symmetrically as two bays plus one bay plus two bays. It includes a chamfered plinth, rusticated quoins, and a sill band to the first floor. The central entrance has a part-glazed flush-panelled door within a bolection-moulded surround, the moulding arched over a lintel panel bearing the arms of Lisle impaling Lisle and the date 1732, topped with a cornice supported by moulded brackets. There are renewed 12-pane sash windows in moulded surrounds, each with a segmental floating pediment. The roof eaves overhang and return, with end stacks. The left return shows a gable end with a band and three small chamfered windows, one blocked but retaining old iron bars. The right return has two similar windows, also blocked, and a set-back rear wing featuring an arched stair window.

Inside, the ground floor east room has contemporary panelling, with fluted pilasters flanking the fireplace and a domed cupboard featuring a shell head and shaped shelves. The room also has an egg-and-dart cornice. A panelled arch with a keyblock leads to the rear wing. A dog-leg open-string stair has stick balusters, a moulded ramped handrail, and moulded newels. A panelled arch is present at the stairhead. The roof retains old collar-beam trusses.
