Description
Oldfield Farmhouse, now divided into two houses, dates from 1604, as indicated by the datestone inscribed "RS/1604" (Sir Rowland Stanley). The building is constructed of stone and has a slate roof. It is two storeys high with an attic and features six bays, with the first bay serving as an outbuilding that projects forward. The first and second bays are also two storeys tall. The return of the third bay has a coped gable.
The farmhouse retains original double-chamfered-mullioned windows, with four lights on the ground floor of the third bay, and three and two lights on the first floor of the third and fourth bays. The gable end of the third bay has a four-light window. The second bay features a sashed window with glazing bars on the ground floor and a horizontally-sliding sash on the first floor. The fifth and sixth bays have casements and 20th-century gabled roof dormers. There is a lean-to porch, a cross axial stack, and a stack on a later rear wing. A datestone is also located above a rear window.
