Cottage And Farmbuildings At South Farm

A late 18th-century foldyard group of farm buildings, with some 19th-century alterations, located at South Farm in Glanton. The buildings are constructed of squared tooled stone, with the south part of the east range being rubble. A cottage is situated at the southwest corner. Roof coverings are a mix of pantile with stone slates to the eaves, Welsh slates, pantiles, and 20th-century asbestos. The yard itself is an irregular parallelogram, enclosed by buildings apart from a central entrance on the south side.

The north range is a two-storey barn with three irregular bays, containing two doorways (one with a keyed supra-lintel) and casement windows to the ground floor. A part-slatted window is positioned above, with a raised reverse-stepped coping to the gables. Vent slits are visible in the gable returns. The west range is two storeys high with nine bays, featuring a long arcade of segmental arches on round piers, most of which are now blocked. Twelve windows are above, consisting mainly of low, slatted openings set directly beneath the eaves. Towards the left end, a later addition, part of the farm cottage, has two 12-pane sashes within a flat-topped dormer window. The east range demonstrates four boarded doors, with the door on the right flanked by part-slatted windows, slit vents and low loft windows set directly beneath the eaves.

The south range is divided into two sections by the yard entrance. The left section, the former cottage, is two bays wide and two storeys high. It contains a four-panel door, a 12-pane sash window to the left, a matching window in a gabled half-dormer above, and a 12-pane Yorkshire sash window beneath the eaves on the far left. The roof is hipped to the left and features a raised reverse-stepped coping to the right gable. An axial stack projects from the gable on the right end. A single-storey 19th-century extension to the right has a 12-pane sash window. The section to the right of the yard entrance, which was roofless at the time of survey, has a doorway and a small window. The external elevation of the west range shows a continuous line of slatted loft windows. The foldyard group was described as well-preserved and undergoing conversion to workshops at the time of survey.
