Description
Blackpool Farmhouse is a house dated 1735, featuring the initials R B E on the door lintel. It was heightened and extended to the east in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of squared stone and has a slate roof with brick stacks. It stands two storeys tall and has a three-bay section plus an additional bay. The three-bay section includes a left-of-centre doorway, which is now blocked with a 20th-century window inserted in a stone surround with a narrow chamfer. To the right and left of the doorway are renewed 16-pane sash windows, while the first floor has 9-pane short sashes. The bay to the right features a 20th-century door and 9-pane sash windows. The farmhouse has coped gables, and the ridge and end stacks are made of 20th-century brick, with the left end resting on an old stone base. There is a 20th-century rear extension that is not of interest.
