Websters Farmhouse

Websters Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dated 1682 in the gable of the porch. It was enlarged around 1900 and altered. The building is constructed of handmade red brick in English garden wall bond (3+1) on a sandstone base, topped with a composition tile roof. It features a two-unit end-baffle-entry plan with a projecting porch, a rear wing, and an addition to the left.

The farmhouse has two low storeys. The principal element has a 1:2 window arrangement, including a two-storey gabled porch to the left. This porch is notable for its elaborate and unusual three-course band around it, with a corbel table of raised headers and a projecting top course where alternate bricks are set on edge to create an embattled effect. Between the ground floor windows, there is a pendent oblong panel designed in a similar manner. The porch features a square-headed doorway with a stone lintel and a 20th-century board door, a small square window on the first floor, and above this, a square datestone with raised lettering: T/ TH/ 1682. There is also one very small window on each floor of the right-hand side.

The main range has oblong windows on both floors, with the ground floor windows situated under blocked depressed arches that have arch-bands of separated raised headers. All windows have 20th-century joinery, replacing the original three-light sliding sashes. A chimney is located at the left gable, and there is a modern one-window extension to the left. The decorative use of brick on this building is very similar to that found at Nos 1 & 3 Cobbs Brow in Newburgh, West Lancashire District.
