Sleekburn Cottage Farmhouse

Sleekburn Cottage Farmhouse is a house built around 1800, originally serving as a lodge. It is constructed from squared tooled stone and features an ashlar door surround, topped with a Welsh slate roof and rebuilt brick stacks. The building is designed in the Gothick style and has one storey plus an attic, with three bays. The central bay, which is slightly set forward, has an open pediment and contains a flush-panelled door with a triple-arched overlight, surrounded by stepped pilasters and a hood. This central bay is flanked by blind windows with pointed arches and a blank quatrefoil above. The end bays have 4-pane sash windows with slightly projecting sills. The gables are coped, and the end stacks have been rebuilt on their original bases. The returns of the building show low-pitched gables with coping that extends onto deep footstones, featuring three windows on the ground floor and one centrally placed window in the attic bedroom, with one ground-floor window blocked on each return.

Inside, the ground floor includes six-panel doors and folding panelled shutters, along with a contemporary panelled fireplace in the sitting room. There is a dogleg open-string stair with stick balusters, moulded newels, and a ramped moulded handrail. The bedrooms have four-panel doors, and the roof features collar-beam trusses with purlins secured by tusk tenons. The domestic accommodation has been extended into the adjacent farm buildings.
