Land Farmhouse And Attached Barn

Land Farmhouse and the attached barn date from the 18th century, with the barn added around 1850 and altered in the mid-20th century to create extra accommodation. The farmhouse features a date plaque inscribed "17 IMG 55" and incorporates windows from the 17th century, along with a two-storey porch brought from various locations, including the demolished Schofield Hall at Hollingworth Lake, Rochdale. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and has a blue slate roof. Although the house is mid-18th century in date, it is designed entirely in the style of the 17th century.

The farmhouse has a two-room front layout, consisting of a housebody and a parlour with a small rear room, and a gable entry. The southeast front displays double chamfered mullioned windows with king mullions, featuring eight lights and six lights on the ground floor, and eight lights and five lights on the first floor. The left-hand return wall includes a gable entry doorway above which is the date plaque, along with two single lights on the first floor. The gables are coped with kneelers. The rear of the house has a three-light chamfered mullioned window with arched lights and sunken spandrels, likely reused from an earlier house on the site.

The barn, positioned at right angles to the farmhouse, features a 17th-century doorway with an ogee lintel and chamfered surround to the left of a ten-light double chamfered mullioned and transomed window with ovolo moulded mullions. The first floor has an arch-headed light and a four-light double chamfered mullioned window. There is a lateral mid-20th century stack to the left of a former segmental arched cart entry, which is now blocked, with a simple Venetian window above. The west side of the barn has a similar archway and window to the left of a fine two-storey porch that includes quoins, a coped gable with kneelers, and an ogee lintel over the doorway with a finely stop-chamfered surround, above which is a three-light double chamfered mullioned window. To the right of the porch are four-light double chamfered mullioned windows on each floor. The north gable features three garage doorways with two double chamfered mullioned windows of five lights above on the first floor, and the gable is coped with kneelers and baluster finials. The house lacks stacks but retains a fireplace with a chamfered surround and an altered lintel.
