Farfield Cottages

Farfield Cottages is a house and cottage located on Bolton Road in Addingham, dating from the mid-18th century, with the cottage added slightly later. The front is made of dressed stone, while the sides and rear are constructed from coursed rubble, topped with a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys.

The south front features the cottage on the left, which has quoined angles and a doorway with monolithic jambs next to a three-light flat-faced mullioned window, with a similar window above on the first floor. The gable is coped with kneelers and a stack at the left end. The house, attached on the right, has a higher roofline and a symmetrical three-bay facade with rusticated quoins. Its doorway, flanked by pilaster strips, has a triangular pediment above. On either side of the doorway are two-light windows with flat-faced mullions, inner chamfers, and raised plain stone surrounds, which retain 12-paned sashes. The building features moulded gutter brackets and coped gables with cyma-moulded coping and kneelers.

At the rear, there is a central double-chamfered cross-window at mezzanine level that lights the stair, along with a two-light chamfered mullioned window to the left and a doorway with tie-stone jambs. The junction with the cottage includes quoins, and the cottage has three-light flat-faced mullioned windows on each floor with slightly recessed mullions and inner chamfers.

Inside the house, there is a lobby-entry against the stack and a dog-leg staircase with finely turned 17th-century balusters, which may have been reused. The cottage features large chamfered spine beams and remnants of a brick-lined bee-hive oven.
