Arnot House

Arnot House, formerly known as Laneside Farmhouse or Armot House, is a house built in 1677. It is constructed from limestone rubble with sandstone dressings and features a stone slate roof. The building has a double-pile plan and stands two storeys high with attics.

The facade includes a central gabled porch, with the upper storeys extending over a string course. The windows are mullioned with double chamfers, hoods, and leaded glazing. To the left of the porch is a six-light window with a king mullion, and to the right is a five-light window. On the first floor, there are two-light and three-light windows to the left, along with a blocked single-light window. To the right of the porch is a four-light window. The porch features a three-light stepped window on the first floor and a single-light attic window above. The door has a moulded surround with a shaped lintel inscribed 'IBM 16 77', and the inner doorway has a chamfered surround with a studded door and strap hinges.

A chimney is located on the left-hand gable, aligned with the right-hand side of the porch. The left-hand gable wall has a one-light attic window, while the right-hand gable features 17th-century mullioned windows on both the ground and first floors, with two lights to the left and three lights to the right. The attic window on this gable has three lights. The central ground-floor window is of a later 19th-century type, with two lights and a mullion. At the rear, there are double-chamfered mullioned windows, including a cross window on the first floor on the west side.

Inside, the right-hand front room has a plaster panel above a later stone fireplace, featuring three crude pilasters and decoration of tendrils and acorns, with the inscription 'IB 1677 MB' above it. The left-hand front room has a wide fireplace with a chamfered segmental arch, and the voussoirs bear masons' marks ('H' and 'I'). Two chamfered stone door surrounds lead to the rear rooms. The building is marked as 'Armot House' on the 6-inch Ordnance Survey map.
