Bolton Hall Farmhouse

HOGHTON LONG BARN BROW (off) SD 62 NW 2/144 Bolton Hall Farmhouse 17.4.67 (Formerly listed as Bolton Hall) II

Farmhouse. Probably late C17. Coursed squared stone with quoins, graduated stone slate roof. Double-depth 2-bay plan. Two storeys, symmetrical, with gable chimneys; central single-storey gabled porch with side door, single-light window in front gable wall; 2 deeply-recessed chamfered mullion 3-light windows at 1st floor, another at ground floor to the right, a little square firewindow near the right corner, and to the left of the porch a formerly mullioned 3-light window altered as a casement. Left gable wall has one C19 window on each floor including the attic. Rear has a doorway in the centre, a 4-light window to the right and two 3-light windows at 1st floor, a mono-pitch roofed extension at ground floor of 2nd bay covering another window: all these windows like those in front. Interior: unusual double-depth plan with very thick stone internal partition walls; stone corbels supporting beams with bead moulding (probably replacing originals). Historical comment: unusual combination of advanced double-depth plan and symmetrical facade with very conservative window type (usually found in early C17).
