Description

West Riding Farmhouse is a house from the late 18th century, with a porch added in the 19th century. It is built of coursed squared rubble with cut quoins and dressings, and features a Welsh slate roof, except for the stone slates on the porch and rear wing. The house has two storeys and three bays. The right-of-centre entrance is a vertical-panelled door with a 2-pane overlight, located inside a gabled porch that has a vertical-panelled door and paired 6-pane casements under a timber lintel on the left side. The windows are sashes with lost glazing bars, set in stone surrounds with slightly projecting sills. The gables are coped with moulded kneelers, and the right end stack is stepped with a tripartite shrift, while the left end stack has been rebuilt in brick on an old base. The left side of the house shows a blocked door on the first floor. The single-storey rear wing has a boarded door and similar window styles.
