Diggle Edge Farmhouse And Adjoining Barn And Cottages

Diggle Edge Farmhouse, along with the adjoining barn and cottages, dates from the 1770s for the farmhouse and around 1800 for the cottages. The buildings are constructed from hammer-dressed watershot stone and feature a graduated stone slate roof. The farmhouse is a single-depth, two-storey structure with a barn on the right, a lean-to against the left gable, and cottages at the extreme right.

The farmhouse has a square-cut door surround, flanked by five and three-light windows, with nine and three-light windows on the first floor. All windows have recessed flat-faced stone mullions. The barn door on the right has a corbelled lintel, and there is a shippon door nearby. The building features a cornice and two ridge chimney stacks, along with a blocked winnowing door at the rear.

The cottages are partially obscured on the ground floor by a timber lean-to and have three and five-light windows on the first floor, as well as a nine-light workshop window on the second floor. The cottages also include kneelers, two-light gable windows, and a blocked taking-in door at the rear on the first floor.
