Description
Numbers 1-7 North Farm are planned farm buildings dating from around 1870. They are constructed from snecked tooled stone with tooled-and-margined dressings, while the engine house stack is made of engineering brick and the internal walls are brick as well. The buildings have a Welsh slate roof and feature an asymmetrical E-shaped plan. The west part of the north range and the barn, which includes the engine house on the north side, project to the rear and are two storeys tall, while the remainder of the buildings are one storey.
On the north side of the western yard, there are three elliptical arches, and a similar arch with boarded double doors is located at the south end of the central range. The buildings have boarded doors and part-slatted windows, with all openings framed in chamfered alternating-block surrounds. The gables are coped with moulded kneelers, and the east gable of the two-storey section of the north range features three pigeon holes and alighting shelves. The walls that enclose the yards have openings with monolith jambs and flat copings. The engine house on the north side has boarded doors beneath a shouldered lintel and a banded ridge stack positioned against the gable of the taller barn behind.
This site is an unusually well-preserved example of a later Victorian planned farm, which replaced an earlier foldyard group with a gingang on the west. There are 20th-century coverings over the yards and adjacent sheds with metal or asbestos roofs, which are not of special interest.
