Description
Old Royd Farmhouse and the attached barn, dated 1831 and formerly known as Hoar Royd, is a laithe-house constructed of hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high. The barn on the left features a basket-arched cart entry with a Venetian window above it, along with a mistal doorway to the left. The house has paired doorways to the right, one of which is blocked, and a flat-faced mullioned window that was originally made up of five lights, with a six-light window above it on the first floor. The structure has quoins, a gable stack, and another stack. At the rear, there is a similar cart entry with a plaque that reads "Rebuilt by John Mitchell the Owner in 1831."
