Halton Green East Farmhouse

The Halton Green East Farmhouse is a house dating back to the early 17th century, with a later 17th-century rear wing and 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of sandstone rubble with a stone slate roof. Originally a two-unit plan with a central entrance, it is now arranged as a T-shaped layout. The house has two storeys and an attic. Windows are of two main types; those from the early 17th century have wooden mullions set back within the openings, with plain reveals and chamfered stone lintels. Later 17th-century windows are rebated and chamfered, also with stone mullions. Doorways and the cellar window have architraves. The front facade includes several windows of the 17th-century type, and one window is modified to create a stair window. A wooden porch with balusters and a round head, likely from the early 20th century, is situated at the front. The left-hand gable has chamfered mullioned windows of three and two lights, with one replacing an earlier 17th-century window, and a modern attic casement. The right-hand gable features a projecting stack with offsets and four windows of the later type. Two windows illuminate the attic. The rear wing has a 20th-century front wall that matches the style of the original farmhouse and faces the garden. It incorporates a porch with gable copings and kneeler detailing reminiscent of the 18th century, along with some reused 17th-century architectural features. The right-hand gable wall of the wing has a chamfered door surround on the first floor, now blocked to form a window. The rear wall, facing the road, has windows of the later type, with two, one, one, and three lights on the ground floor, and two two-light windows on the first floor. Inside the main block, the roof consists of three trusses with king posts rising from high collars, supported by curved braces to the ridge. There is a timber-framed internal wall with an ogee doorhead and a blocked early 17th-century window. A stone fireplace of around 1700, with bolection moulding, is located in a ground-floor room on the right. The rear wing features a bressumer and heck post, alongside a fireplace dating back to around 1700 with fluted pilasters, a moulded cornice, and a lintel containing two raised and fielded panels flanking a central floral motif. A fragment of a Saxon cross is incorporated into the internal wall of the porch.
