Kiplaw Farmhouse

Kiplaw Farmhouse is a house dated 1752, featuring the initials J.I on the door lintel. The original structure is a two-storey building with five symmetrical bays, constructed from squared stone at the front and rubble on other walls. The east block, added in the second quarter of the 19th century, incorporates earlier fabric and is made of coursed rubble with cut dressings. The roof is covered with grey tiles from the 20th century, while the east block and porch have a Welsh slate roof.

The original house has a chamfered plinth and a late 19th-century wooden porch with a half-glazed door and margined casements on the sides, enclosing a doorway with a chamfered surround and a dated lintel. The windows are renewed 8-pane sashes set in old openings. The gables feature raised reversed-stepped coping on moulded kneelers, and the end stacks have been rebuilt. The left side shows a boarded attic window. The east block, which is two storeys and three bays wide, is also symmetrical, with a central stable door flanked by 16-pane sash windows and 12-pane shortened sashes above, all set in alternating-block surrounds with slightly projecting sills. The right gable is coped with a moulded kneeler, and there is a stepped-and-banded end stack. The rear of the original house has a contemporary outshut with a boarded door under a timber lintel, flanked by small casement windows. The rear of the east block features two 12-pane sashes with 9-pane sashes above.

Inside, there is a contemporary dog-leg open-string staircase with urn-on-vase balusters and a moulded, wreathed handrail. A large internal stack in the east block likely survives from an earlier house.
