Description
Halliwell House is a farmhouse dated 1667, now functioning as a house. It is constructed of stone, rendered and painted white above the plinth, with a stone slate roof and no chimneys. The building has an L-shaped, three-bay baffle-entry plan, with the third bay designed as a crosswing that projects to the rear. It stands two storeys high and features a two-storey gabled porch at the junction of the first and second bays, which protects a studded plank door. Above the entrance is a datestone inscribed with "C" and "W.B 1667," and there is a two-light casement window above this. The façade includes three windows on each floor, with those on the ground floor breaking the plinth; all are altered casements in oblong openings with stone sills and heads. The rear of the house has a short two-storey outshut at the angle of the wing, a modern extension to the first bay, and mostly altered openings. Inside, there are chamfered beams in all bays, an inglenook with a bressummer in the second bay, box-frame internal partitions on the first floor, and a part-sunk former dairy located at the rear of the wing.
