Description
North End Farmhouse and the attached barn are located on Bruntwaite Lane in Silsden. The farmhouse dates from the mid to late 17th century, while the barn was added in the mid 18th century. There is also a late 18th-century house with 19th-century alterations to the left of the farmhouse. The buildings are constructed from rubble brought to course and feature a stone slate roof. They form a long range with three different roof lines that rise with the slope of the hill.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a 17th-century, two-cell end-lobby-entry plan, with a single-storey outshut at the rear. The front of the farmhouse has five divisions: the first division has windows with plain stone surrounds on both floors; the second has a doorway with composite jambs and a chamfered surround; the third has altered windows on each floor; the fourth features a double-chamfered mullioned window with a hoodmould, which was originally a four-light window but now lacks two mullions; the fifth division has a doorway with composite jambs and a simple Tudor-arched lintel. There are two stacks on this range.
To the right is the barn, which has quoins and two doorways with composite jambs and chamfered surrounds—one in the centre and the other to the right for the mistal. The barn has a coped gable to the left. Attached at a lower level is an added three-cell house that retains its original three-light flat-faced mullioned windows with recessed mullions in the second bay, while the other cells have altered windows. There is a doorway with monolithic jambs in the first cell. The left side of the house has a hipped roof with a lateral stack and another stack on the ridge. At the rear, there is a segmental-arched cart entry to the barn formed by two cantilevered stones that are butt-jointed. The outshut of the 17th-century house has quoins and a three-light chamfered mullioned window, which is missing a mullion.
