Description
Altcar Farmhouse and barn, linked by a screen wall, likely built in the late 18th century. The farmhouse is constructed of brick with a slate roof, featuring a double-pile design with two bays and two storeys. The barn, also made of 18th-century brick and topped with a slate roof, has diamond-pattern ventilation openings on two levels. Notable architectural features include the decorative north gables of both structures, which have tall blind Gothic arches and crow-stepped parapets with crocketed finials at the top. The linking wall is made of coursed sandstone, embattled, and topped with a crow-stepped parapet above an arched Gothic doorway with a hoodmould. This arrangement was likely designed as an ornamental feature to be viewed from Worden Hall in Leyland.
