Martinside Farmhouse

Martinside Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It is dated 1718 but likely dates back even earlier and has undergone alterations. The building is constructed of handmade brick, featuring some decorative blue brick headers, and has a stone slate roof. It has an L-shaped plan with a two-bay main range and a projecting porch wing on the right side.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a brick plinth. The entrance is located in the re-entrant wall of the wing, marked by a doorway with a roll-moulded timber doorcase and a cambered lintel. Above the entrance is a 2-light sliding sash window set under the eaves. The gable of the wing features a segmental-headed 3-light sliding sash window offset to the right at ground floor, with a saw-tooth band above it. At the first floor, there is a diaper band that creates three large heart shapes, with an inserted window above that breaks into the right end of this feature. The gable also displays a datestone inscribed in relief with the initials H H E and the date 1718. The return wall has a triangular-headed peep window.

The main range has three small horizontal-rectangular windows at ground floor level, and at the first floor, there are two low 4-light casements at different heights. The left casement has a brick label that continues to the right with two step-ups, while the second casement is positioned above a small triangular-headed window. The right gable wall includes a small first-floor window with two arched lights, a brick mullion, and a label. The rear of the building has one horizontal rectangular window at ground floor and three above, all featuring run-out heads and sills, although this side has been altered.

Inside, the farmhouse has been modified by the removal of partition walls but still retains a very large inglenook bressummer and two longitudinal beams with stopped quarter-round moulding. In the former service end, there are stop-chamfered beams set at a lower level.
