Higher Stony Bank Farmhouse And Former Granary Adjoining To The West

Higher Stony Bank Farmhouse and the former granary adjoining to the west date from the late 17th century. The farmhouse is constructed of rendered rubble with sandstone dressings and features a stone slate roof. It is two storeys tall, with a central porch that has a roof sloping down to one and a half storeys at the front. The windows are designed with an outer chamfer and an inner cyma moulding. Flanking the porch are two six-light windows with mullions and transoms, each topped with a hood that has decorative stops. On the first floor, there are two two-light mullioned windows on either side of the porch, along with a circular window with a chamfered surround on the far left. The first floor of the porch extends over a cyma-moulded string course and features a one-light window with an ovolo-moulded surround and an ogee head. The door has a cyma-moulded surround with a shaped head and hood.

To the left of the farmhouse is an agricultural building, believed to have been a granary on the first floor. This building has doors with plain reveals on both floors, with the ground-floor door located beneath the upper platform of external stone steps. The right gable of the farmhouse includes a one-light window with a cyma-moulded surround, and a four-light rebated and chamfered mullioned window on the first floor. There is an outshut at the rear that contains the staircase. Inside the left-hand room of the farmhouse, there is a wide fireplace that has been filled in, featuring a chamfered surround and a segmental head with an outer chamfer around the voussoirs. Inside the granary, the left-hand wall of the house has a blocked one-light ovolo-moulded window surround on the first floor, indicating that the granary may have been added later.
