Description
Armetriding Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1570, featuring a later wing. It is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble with limewashed scored render and has a stone slate roof. The building has two chimneys, one on the ridge and another at the rear gable, both made of brick. The farmhouse has a T-shaped plan, with both sections consisting of two bays and two storeys. The front and back doors are now located in the rear wing, which is unrendered sandstone with 18th or 19th-century openings.
The main part of interest is the crosswing, which has one stone mullioned window on each floor in both the front and rear gables. These windows are five lights each, featuring deeply splayed reveals, ovolo-moulded mullions, and hoodmoulds. The left return wall includes a single-storey lean-to with a two-light stone mullioned window at the front, covering a central door and a three-light stone mullioned window above it. To the left, there is a two-light mullioned window, and at the first floor, a three-light window with unusual triple-moulded jambs, head, and mullions, along with a hoodmould. Beneath this window is a datestone inscribed in relief: 1570 . HA AoDMI.
Inside, the wing contains some beams with stopped rounded-moulding, and on the first floor, there is one altered arch-braced roof truss with a doorway inserted in the centre.
