Rowton Lane Farmhouse

Rowton Lane Farmhouse is an early 17th-century farmhouse that was refaced with brick and extended in the early 18th century. Originally timber-framed on a stone plinth, the exterior is now English garden wall bond orange brick. The roof is covered in Welsh slate and there are three brick chimneys. It is a two-room baffle entry house. The east front has two storeys and five bays. The lower windows are wooden casements with three or two lights, set under segmental brick heads. Doors are located in the second and third bays, also under similar brick arches; one door is made of three boards. The right-hand three bays have a raised band at the first floor, above which are three two-light casements. Inside, the entry is against a baffle, leading to an inglenook fireplace with a chamfered bressumer and a bacon cupboard beyond. The ceilings have chamfered beams with fillet and flat stops. An oak staircase features square newels and a heavy handrail but lacks balusters. An addition at the south end contains the base stone of an early 19th-century cheese press.
