Causeway House Farmhouse

Causeway House Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the later 17th century and was altered in the 18th century. It is constructed of coursed thin sandstone rubble without quoins, which may indicate recladding, and features a slate roof with two brick chimneys. The building has a three-bay baffle-entry plan and stands two storeys high. There are two plain doorways located at the junction of the first and second bays, aligned with the ridge chimney. Each floor has three horizontal rectangular windows, along with a small square window above the right-hand door, all of which have altered glazing. A lean-to is present at the right end, while a shed is located at the left end.

The rear wall, which faces a rising slope, has four ground floor windows, three of which have slab hoodmoulds, and the window in the middle bay of the housepart is blocked. The first floor has three windows. Inside, the layout appears older than the exterior, with a kitchen in the first bay, a housepart in the second bay, and two service rooms in the third bay, although the axial partition has been removed. The housepart features an inglenook with a large stop-chamfered bressummer, and both the housepart and kitchen have one ovolo-moulded lateral beam. There is a full-height timber-framed partition between the second and third bays, and low tie-beams at the first floor, with the one in the middle bay seemingly inserted or raised. A smoke hood, now enclosed by light panelling, continues into the roof space in stone, and there is a timber-framed partition in the roof space with wattle-and-daub infill. A relocated staircase now blocks the rear window of the housepart, and the original position of the staircase is not known.
