5/133 Ireby Hall Farmhouse

II

House, probably early C17th, altered. Sandstone rubble with steep slate roof. 2 storeys. Front of 3 bays having modern windows with plain reveals. Re-set over the left-hand ground-floor window is a battlemented lintel inscribed '1641'. The door, in the middle bay and under a modern glazed porch, has a chamfered surround with Tudor-arched head. At the left is a second door under a glazed porch which overlaps one bay of a taller addition, probably of early C19th date, which has windows with plain stone surrounds and glazing bars. Further left is a 2nd bay of this addition, projecting forwards under hipped roof, with chamfered quoins, and having sashed windows with plain stone surrounds. Chimney on ridge above this bay, to its right, to left of middle bay of original house, and on right-hand gable. Inside, the left-hand room has a very wide fireplace with rendered segmental arch. 2 large main joists with mouldings of C16th type intersect. The mouldings have run-out stops, which suggests that they are not re-used. On the 1st floor there is panelling with vertical panels and with moulded muntins and rails.
