5/91 Haighton Hall Farmhouse

GV II

Farmhouse, probably c.1700, altered. Mostly watershot coursed sandstone with quoins, some channelled ashlar and some brick, slate roof. Unorthodox (or altered) plan, consisting of roughly square double-depth 3-bay main range, with a single-bay gabled wing continued from the south gable. All 2½ storeys, of unusual height. Present front on east side, almost symmetrical, has a rectangular doorway offset left containing a recessed doorcase and glazed door, and 2 large 3-light chamfered mullion windows on each floor; the south gable has a late-C17 type doorway with moulded surround and shaped lintel, a small 2-light mullioned attic window in the gable, and attached to the left hand side, slightly overlapping the jamb of the doorway, a 2½ storey gabled wing, the re-entrant wall of scored render, the gable of channelled ashlar with one window on each floor, of 3, 3, and 2 lights (like those of the front), and the rear, of sandstone rubble, a large external chimney stack and a 2-light window at ground floor. To the left of this the rear wall of the main range has chamfered-mullion stairlight windows, the lowest (offset to the right) of 2 lights, the others of 3, and the upper of these smaller with glazing bars; further left 2 altered windows on each floor, and a cut-down chimney between them. North gable wall is stepped, the set-back part finished in brick, and has a moulded doorway to the house, and a mono-pitch roofed single storey extension entered by a doorway with Tudor-arched lintel; and a gable chimney. Interior: apparently altered, but contains full-height doglegged staircase with closed string, turned balusters and newels, broad handrail.
