Description

Walton Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1745, built for T Walton, with 20th-century alterations and additions to the rear. It is constructed of Flemish bond red brick and has a Welsh slate roof with two gable brick chimneys. The building is 2½ stories tall and features a symmetrical three-bay front. The end bays have 20th-century three-light mullioned and transomed windows with glazing bars, set under flat wedged brick heads with stone keyblocks and sills. The central bay includes a 20th-century gabled brick porch with a glazed door, and above it are two similar two-light windows beneath a primitive barge-boarded triangular pediment. A datestone in this bay reads "TW 1745," with the space for the wife's initial left blank. The interior has no reported original features. Walton Farmhouse was originally identical to the now altered Topps Farmhouse and Bradford Road Farmhouse in Nether Alderley, and it is similar to Dean Green Farmhouse, all of which were part of the Stanley Estate farms.
