Dearden Fold Farmhouse

Dearden Fold Farmhouse is likely from the 16th century, with alterations and additions in the 17th century and later. It was originally a hall-house. The building is timber-framed with stone walls, some of which have been rebuilt in brown brick. It is two storeys high and has four windows, including two located within gabled sections, one of which is slightly projected forward; the windows have been altered and now feature casements. The entrance door is set within a gabled porch and is studded with cross-boards, displaying ornamental strap hinges. The roof is covered in stone slabs.

Inside, there are substantial, bevelled beams, including one above the hearth resting on a moulded corbel, and stopped bevelled cross-beams. A section of the first floor appears to have been inserted in the 17th century. A pointed arch formed of massive, bevelled hewn timbers is visible on the first floor, with a carved boss at its apex, positioned below a post. A timber-framed cross wall is said to have wattle and daub panels. A six-panel door of Tudor design is on the ground floor, and a later cupboard features a fielded panel and H hinges.
