Description

The End Cottage, The Old Stables, and The Barn at Tippetts Farm is a group of two farmhouses and an attached barn that form a single range of buildings. They were likely built in the late 18th century and are currently being renovated into three separate dwellings. The structure is made of watershot coursed sandstone blocks and has a slate and stone slate roof, although the barn is roofless at the time of the survey.

The houses are arranged as a single pile, with the left house having two bays and an added kitchen at the front, as well as a vaulted well house at the rear. The left house has two storeys and features a single-storey gabled kitchen with a chimney, a plain doorway at the junction, one window on the side, and one in the end wall, along with a cellar below. It also has a stepped triple-light window on the first floor to the left and three additional windows. The central house has a central plain doorway with a raised lintel, a four-light slab mullioned window to the left, a stepped triple-light window on each floor to the right, and two other windows on the first floor. The barn on the right is now a shell with a round-arched wagon entrance in the centre, small square openings on each side, and plain doorways at each end. The rear of the range was originally back-to-earth but has been excavated and rebuilt, although the underground vaulted well-house still survives.

The interior has been entirely rebuilt except for the cellar and the well house, which features stone slab shelves and a stone cistern for spring water.
