Bolton Green Farmhouse

Bolton Green Farmhouse is a house dated 1612, with an internal date of 1611, and possibly some later alterations. It is constructed from coursed rubble of thin red sandstone, featuring a plinth and large quoins, and has a slate roof with one chimney on the ridge, one at the gable of the rear extension, and a modern chimney at the front left corner. The building has a roughly cruciform plan and is a 3-bay baffle-entry house with a porch at the front and a kitchen extension at the rear of the main chimney stack. The first bay continues to the rear as an outshut containing stairs. The house is two storeys high, with a wide 2-storey gabled porch at the junction of the second and third bays. The porch features a doorway with moulded jambs and a moulded Tudor-arch lintel offset to the right, a 3-light window on the left, and another window above with a stepped hoodmould enclosing a datestone inscribed with "RLML 1612".

There are 17 chamfered stone mullion windows, mostly with hoodmoulds, which may be of later date. The windows in the front wall to the left of the porch have 5 and 6 lights on both floors (the latter formed of two groups of three), and there are 4 lights to the right. At the rear of the kitchen extension is a former stable with a loft accessed by external steps at right angles to the gable.

Inside, there is an inglenook with a stone heck and a moulded bressummer, along with ¼ round moulded beams throughout and timber framed flat floor partitions. A fine dogleg staircase of late 17th century type features gates at the foot, a triple stage balustered screen at the landing, and foliated plaster decoration on the beams above the well. The upper room in the third bay has a stone fireplace with a Tudor-arched lintel inscribed with "1611 RLML IB +".
