Hey Fold Farm Cottages

Hey Fold Farm Cottages is a farmhouse and attached cottage. It likely dates to the late 17th or early 18th century, with significant remodelling and enlargement in the later 18th century. The building is constructed of sandstone rubble, with a stone slate roof. It originally comprised two units, probably a single-depth layout with an end baffle entry, but it was later altered to a double-depth plan with a central entry, and a single-depth extension was added to the east end, which has since been partly reduced.

The two-storey, two-window main range has a blocked square-headed doorway at the right-hand end and a gabled porch in the center. A two-light mullioned window is located on each side of the porch, with the window to the left having a restored mullion and a third light recently added to its left. The first floor features a two-light window to the left and a king-mullioned window of two plus three lights to the right. All windows have flat-faced flush mullions and plain surrounds. A rebuilt two-flue chimney is found at the right gable, and a smaller one-flue chimney is situated on the ridge where the farmhouse connects to an attached barn.

A two-bay cottage is set back at the right-hand end. The first bay is of two low storeys, while the second has been reduced to a single storey. Blocked doorways are present to the right of each bay, with altered ground-floor windows and two small first-floor windows in the first bay.

The rear of the main range was raised to two full storeys in the 18th century (evidence of a former kneeler remains where it joins the barn). A central doorway is visible, along with two small rectangular ground-floor windows and three above. A small lean-to is located at the east corner, featuring a window with a chamfered surround and a roof constructed of two massive overlapping stone slabs. The rear wall of the cottage has been altered. The interior has not been inspected.

The building forms a group with an associated barn attached to the west end.

A second listing describes a house, probably dating to the late 18th century, constructed of rubble (painted in 1983) with a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high with two two-light windows on the front, the mullion of the left-hand window having been removed. The first floor has a two-light window (also with a removed mullion) and a five-light window. All mullions are square. There are two doorways, and a dripstone above the center one. Gable chimneys are present.
