Description

Cherryfold is a farmhouse that was formerly attached to a barn and shippon, now all incorporated into one dwelling. It is dated 1687 internally and has been extended, altered, rebuilt, and recently restored. The building is constructed of sandstone random rubble, with some 20th-century brick that is now faced with rubble, and features a stone slate roof.

The plan of the house is irregular and unorthodox due to various rebuildings over time. It consists of a two-unit domestic range in two builds, with the former barn attached and projecting to the left. The house has two low storeys and features one-to-one window arrangements. There is a quoined vertical joint between the 17th-century portion and the addition to its right. The original section has a double-chamfered mullioned window with three lights over three lights at the ground floor, which includes a king-mullion and a hood-mould, slightly overlapped by the added farm building. Above this, there is a four-light window with chamfered flush mullions. The addition to the right has a doorway at the junction and one altered three-light casement window on each floor to the right, all with plain surrounds. A ridge chimney is located at the junction, which was the former gable.

Inside the addition, the original gable wall of the 17th-century portion features a doorway with a chamfered surround. The interior includes a rectangular stone fireplace with a lintel dated 1687, chamfered beams of dubious authenticity, and a thick interrupted lateral partition wall likely related to an earlier phase in the building's development. The former barn range has undergone significant alterations, including brick outshuts to the front now clad in rubble, but retains a segmental-arched opening at the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
