Description
Light Alders Farmhouse is a former farmhouse now used as a house, dating from the 17th century with 20th-century alterations. It features a timber-framed structure with plastered nogging, set on a sandstone rubble plinth. The roof is made of Kerridge stone-slate, with a stone ridge and three brick chimneys. The building has a rectangular three-unit plan with a cross-passage located behind the interior stack. It includes nine by three small frames with some angle bracing at the wall plate. There are seven single-light wooden casements, some of which are grouped, and three symmetrical half-dormers with gabled roofs, plain barge boards, and pointed finials above, each containing three-light wooden casements. All the windows are from the 20th century and feature applied lead latticing. A 20th-century timber porch is located towards the left, with a 20th-century wooden door behind it.
