Evesons Farmhouse And Evesons Farm Cottage

Eveson's Farmhouse and Eveson's Farm Cottage is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, which has been altered and is now divided into two dwellings. The building is constructed of limewashed sandstone rubble with quoins, and the gables are rendered. It features a stone slate roof with a ridge chimney located at the junction of the second and third bays, along with a large external chimney stack on the left gable.

The farmhouse has a three-bay baffle-entry plan and includes a projecting stair turret on the third bay, a large rear outshut on the left half, and a smaller lean-to on the third bay. It is two storeys high. The original doorway to the left of the stair turret has been altered to become a two-light window, with a similar inserted window above it. There is also an inserted doorway to the left of this and another doorway to the right of the stair turret. On the left side, there are two four-light windows with recessed ovolo and fillet moulded mullions and moulded hoodmoulds. Above these, on the first floor, are two similar three-light windows without hoodmoulds, and in the stair turret, there is a matching two-light window. The left gable features a two-light window with a chamfered mullion, while the right gable has three and two-light windows on the ground floor and a four-light window with a hoodmould on the first floor. The rear outshut has three other mullioned windows, which have been variously altered.

Inside, the part of the house in the second bay has a large inglenook bressumer, with the front end housed in a heck-beam, both featuring cyma-stopped chamfers. The ceiling joists are similarly chamfered. There is an 18th-century rectangular stone fireplace with shouldered jambs, although the head has been altered. The stair turret on the third bay contains a stone spiral staircase.
