Norr Fold Farm Cottage Norr Fold Farmhouse

Norr Fold Farmhouse and Norr Fold Farm Cottage is a house and cottage located on Coplowe Lane in Wilsden. The farmhouse is dated 1679 and is associated with John and Susanne Midgley, while the cottage is an early to mid-19th century addition. The buildings are constructed from hammer-dressed stone and feature stone slate roofs.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a single-cell, double-depth, gable-entry plan. The south front has quoins on the right side. It features a double-chamfered mullioned window with two king-mullions, consisting of nine lights arranged in three groups of three, with two four-light windows above (some mullions have been removed). There is a drip mould over the ground-floor window, and the right side has a shaped kneeler and coping. Gable stacks are present, and the rear of the farmhouse likely has a single-storey outshut that has been raised to two storeys, featuring mid to late 18th-century windows. The ground floor has two three-light flat-faced mullioned windows, while the first floor has a four-light window to the right of a three-light double-chamfered mullioned window.

The right-hand return of the farmhouse has an original doorway with composite jambs, a basket-arched lintel with a date and cyma-moulded surround and cornice. Above the door is a two-light window with arched lights and sunken spandrels, with another similar window to the left. There is a first-floor doorway to the right, which has tie-stone jambs and is accessed by a flight of 11 stone steps.

Inside, a doorway opens against a panelled heck-screen. To the right of the fireplace is an 18th-century cupboard with fluted pilasters and a dentil cornice. Stairs separate the two ground-floor rooms.

The cottage to the left has a three-room plan and is double-depth. It features three bays of four-light flat-faced mullioned windows on each floor and has two stacks on the ridge. The rear of the cottage has two doorways (one of which is blocked) with tie-stone jambs and three square windows with plain stone surrounds, which were formerly a two-light window that is now lacking its mullions.
