Winder Farmhouse And Barn Adjoining To South West

The property comprises a farmhouse and adjoining barn, likely dating from the early 17th century with further development in 1679, though the precise sequence of construction remains unclear. The farmhouse is built of sandstone rubble with a stone slate roof. Its plan is unusual for the area, featuring two separate outshuts projecting from both sides of the main building. The north-west front has two windows in the wider outshut, originally two-light openings with a deep outer chamfer and inner cyma moulding; the right-hand window is taller. To the right of this is a doorway with a moulded surround and a decorated lintel inscribed '1679 LD ED'. Set back to the left of the outshut, the main wall of the house has a rebated and cyma-moulded first-floor window with a hood, now lacking mullions. The lower part of the wall is partly obscured by a lean-to addition. To the right of the outshut, one bay features drip courses above each storey, with rebated and cyma-moulded windows, also without mullions. A blocked light is partially covered by the right-hand outshut. This outshut is two-storey and one bay, with a rebated and cyma-moulded ground-floor window and a rebated and chamfered two-light first-floor window. Another bay has rebated and chamfered windows with hoods, over a single-light ground-floor opening, and with the central mullion removed above. Adjacent to the outshut is a doorway with a chamfered surround and hood. Chimneys are positioned in line with the main outshut and to the left of the right-hand outshut. The barn, situated to the right, is a later addition, featuring a wide entrance with a segmental arch and plain reveals, and a separate entrance door with plain reveals. A rebated and chamfered window surround is located at first-floor level on the left side. The south-east wall of the farmhouse mirrors the north-west side with corresponding outshuts. The main outshut has a doorway with a moulded surround. Inside the main room, a shouldered stone fireplace of the 18th century type is present, above which is a plaque inscribed 'post nubilae phebae'. A blocked doorway with a basket arch and the moulded jamb of a wide fireplace with the springing of a segmental arch (now truncated) are located to the left and right respectively. The room is spanned by an ovolo-moulded main joist. A south-western room contains a wide moulded fireplace with a segmental arch. The room above it on the first floor has a stone fireplace with jambs treated as crude pilasters and a moulded mantel. A dog-leg staircase features turned balusters, square newels, and a moulded handrail.
