Description

Ravens Holme Farmhouse is a 17th-century house constructed from sandstone rubble and topped with a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and features mullioned windows that have an inner hollow chamfer, outer chamfer, and hoods. On the left side of the door, there are windows with 2 lights, 4 lights, and another 4 lights. To the right of the door is a window with 5 lights. The first floor has windows with 2 lights, 3 lights, and 4 lights. At the far left, beyond a straight joint next to the left-hand ground-floor window, there is a blocked chamfered window. The door has a chamfered surround with a segmental head and is topped by a 19th-century hood made of two pitched stone slates. The house has chimneys on the gables and to the right of the left-hand window, with a projecting stack on the right-hand (east) gable. To the left of this gable, there is a blocked window with a hood on each floor, and to the right, there is a door with a plain stone surround. The interior was not accessible at the time of the survey.
