North Farm And Adjacent Stable And Coachhouse, Railings And Gate

North Farm and the adjacent stable and coachhouse, along with the railings and gate, are located in Houghton-le-Spring and date from the mid-18th century. The house is constructed of coursed squared limestone, while the outbuildings are made of rubble, all topped with Welsh slate roofs and surrounded by cast-iron railings.

The house is two storeys high with three windows. It features a central four-panelled door set in a Tuscan doorcase, complete with a corniced canopy. All windows have projecting sills and flat lintels, although they have been replaced with modern casements. The roof has two end chimneys and slightly swept eaves. Inside, the staircase includes two plain square balusters per tread, with a dado and handrail that has a rounded section. The interior also features three-panelled doors within architraves and a Gothick iron chimney piece on the first floor.

The stable-coachhouse contains two loose boxes with a loft above and a garage. The street-facing elevation has one blank bay and two high oblong openings, which feature hit-and-miss lower shuttering and fixed upper shuttering. A low wall and railings enclose the area in front of both the house and the outbuildings.
