Description

Sherleen Wayside is a farmhouse that has been converted into two dwellings. It dates from the mid to late 18th century and was extended in the late 18th century, with a late 19th-century addition at the rear. The original part is built of handmade red brick with a sandstone rubble plinth, while the addition is covered in cement render to imitate the original. The building features a stone slate roof and has an L-shaped plan, consisting of a single-depth two-unit main range, a one-unit addition to the right with a shallow rear outshut, and a late 19th-century rear wing to the left.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a window arrangement of two on the left and one on the right, with a vertical joint between the second and third windows. It was originally symmetrical and has a doorway with a wooden doorcase and a 20th-century pitched canopy. The windows are segmental-headed three-light casements with raked stone sills and gauged brick heads. There are cast-iron gutters with a raised letter "D" at regular intervals, indicating the Derby estate. The left gable has an extruded chimney, and there is an enlarged ridge chimney at the junction, with the tops of both chimneys rebuilt.

Inside, the ground floor of the right-hand room in the original portion features a large axial beam with two big iron hooks, which may have been used for domestic activities such as handloom weaving.
