Description

Laund Farmhouse and the attached outbuilding to the east were built in the mid-18th century, with later modifications. The outbuilding is dated 1863 and both structures have 20th-century alterations. They are constructed from watershot coursed sandstone, with ashlar dressings on the outbuilding. The farmhouse features a gable chimney on the west side and a ridge chimney at the junction with the outbuilding. The roof of the house is covered with stone slates, while the outbuilding has corrugated sheeting from the 20th century.

The front elevation of the house is asymmetrical, with an off-centre doorway on the left that has a plain surround. This doorway is located within a bay that shows signs of partial rebuilding or enlargement due to a ragged vertical masonry joint. To the left of the doorway, there are two-light chamfer mullioned windows with slightly recessed mullions, and the ground floor window has a plain drip mould above it. To the right, there are stepped triple light flush mullioned windows, with the ground floor window being wider and also featuring a drip mould. The rear wall of the house has a central straight joint and a partially quoined junction with the outbuilding. The left bay has a former three-light ground floor window that has been altered to a single plain mullion and has a blocked light. Above this is a two-light window, and there is another two-light opening in the right bay above a combined door and window opening that has been enclosed by a late 20th-century flat-roofed extension. All joinery in the house dates from the late 20th century.

The interior of the farmhouse has been extensively remodelled and is mainly of late 20th-century date.

The outbuilding has a linear plan and includes a small former shippon, now used as a store, which is adjacent to the house and features a doorway with a plain surround and a single window. Further to the left, there is an off-centre full-height cart entry with a semi-circular arched head, featuring vertically boarded double doors set into the inner face of the opening. To the left of the arch, there is a stone plaque inscribed 'G & JH. A. D. 1862', and further left is a large keyed oculus that serves as a pitching eye to the overloft. The tall east gable of the outbuilding has three shippon doorways, each with heavy relieving lintels above the door surrounds. The central doorway provided access to a feed passage for stalls located against each side wall. Inside, collar and tie beam trusses support a triple purlin roof.
