Description
Castle Farmhouse is an early 19th-century house located on the south side of the B6345 near Thirston. The building is constructed of squared and tooled stone, with a slate roof to the south and 20th-century tiles to the north. The north elevation has two storeys and three bays. A central porch features a 6-pane casement window within a chamfered surround, topped by a coped gable. The returns of the porch display a chamfered eaves cornice and a boarded door in a chamfered surround on the right. The windows are 12-pane sash windows, some of which have been renewed. Coped gables and rendered end stacks are present. A single-storey bay to the right has a 12-pane sash window, a coped right gable with a stepped and corniced stack, and a slate roof. The left return of the two-storey section includes a central round-headed stair window with a 12-pane sash featuring intersecting Gothic glazing bars in the head. The rear elevation has a renewed central door and 12-pane sash windows.
