Carr Garth

Carr Garth is a house, now operating as a guesthouse, dating from the mid to late 19th century, incorporating fabric from the 17th century. The construction is of sandstone rubble, with a slate roof. The house has two storeys and five bays. The windows are two-light designs with chamfered surrounds, central mullions, and hood moulds, displaying rock-faced rustication. Most windows have 20th-century timber casements, although those in bays 3, 4, and 5 on the first floor retain original 19th-century iron lattice casements. The roofline extends forward over the fifth bay, which projects. The ground-floor windows in bays 3 and 5 are taller, with lower sills. An additional ground-floor window between bays 1 and 2 has plain reveals, set within a blocked quoined door opening. The present door, located in bay 4, has a tall, chamfered surround which seems to include re-dressed 17th-century stones. Inside bay 3 on the ground floor are remnants of a door jamb and the springing of an arch to the left of the window; to the right is a blocked mullioned window surround at a lower level. Chimneys are located on the gables and to the right of the second bay. The rear of the property features a parallel range and a projecting wing.
