Description
Haighton Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse, probably built around 1700, that has been altered over time. It is constructed mostly of watershot coursed sandstone with quoins, some channelled ashlar, and some brick, topped with a slate roof. The building has an unusual plan, consisting of a roughly square, double-depth, three-bay main range, with a single-bay gabled wing extending from the south gable. It stands at 2½ storeys tall, which is of unusual height.
The front of the farmhouse faces east and is almost symmetrical. It features a rectangular doorway offset to the left, which contains a recessed doorcase and a glazed door. There are two large three-light chamfered mullion windows on each floor. The south gable has a late 17th-century style doorway with a moulded surround and shaped lintel, along with a small two-light mullioned attic window. Attached to the left side of this gable is a 2½ storey gabled wing, where the re-entrant wall is finished in scored render, and the gable is made of channelled ashlar with one window on each floor, featuring three, three, and two lights, similar to those on the front. The rear of this wing is constructed of sandstone rubble and includes a large external chimney stack and a two-light window at ground floor level.
To the left of this wing, the rear wall of the main range has chamfered-mullion stairlight windows, with the lowest window (offset to the right) having two lights, while the others have three, with the uppermost being smaller and featuring glazing bars. Further left, there are two altered windows on each floor and a cut-down chimney situated between them. The north gable wall is stepped, with the set-back part finished in brick, and it includes a moulded doorway to the house. There is also a single-storey extension with a mono-pitch roof, entered through a doorway with a Tudor-arched lintel, and featuring a gable chimney.
Inside, the farmhouse appears to have been altered but retains a full-height doglegged staircase with a closed string, turned balusters and newels, and a broad handrail.
