Description

Upper Mickle Hey Farmhouse, dated 1591, is a typical stone farmhouse with a long, low plan and two storeys. It features a two-storeyed gabled porch with an upper sash window and a date stone above the doorway. To the left, there is a wing with altered windows and some ruined outhouses further left. The section to the right of the porch has a small inserted bathroom window, while the other windows are older, including one with two round-arched lights and others with two and four lights that have straight heads, all with chamfered stone mullions. To the right, there is a porch with a catslide roof, a modern door, and a blocked upper window, which may have originally been part of a stair wing. This section also has two three-light stone mullioned windows on each floor, although some mullions have been removed and one light is now blocked, along with a new inserted window. The farmhouse has a slate roof, brick chimneys, and rough quoins, with oak ceiling beams inside. The property includes stone shippons, stables, barns, and other buildings with flag roofs that extend to the right (east) and southwards, all of various dates but forming part of a typical moorland farm group.
