Hawks Clough Farmhouse

Hawks Clough Farmhouse is a house now divided into two separate homes. It is marked with the initials and date "G 1731" and has 19th century additions. The building is constructed from large dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and a three-room linear layout with a through passage. All windows are double chamfered mullioned types.

The south front includes a prominent five-light window, with a similar one above it on the first floor, and an 11-light housebody window with a king mullion (six lights on one side and five on the other), along with a six-light window above. The original doorway features a Tudor arched lintel inscribed with the date and has a cyma moulded surround; it is now enclosed in a late 19th century single-storey outshut with a cat-slide roof that connects to the main building.

On the right-hand side, the return wall has a coped gable with kneelers and a ball finial at the apex, along with a six-light window on each floor. There is also a 19th century inserted doorway with monolithic jambs. The rear of the house features a segmental arched doorway with a dropped keystone and a cyma moulded surround, and above it, on the first floor, is a circular window with a projecting moulded sill and cornice.

Attached at a right angle to the main range is a mid-19th century two-cell addition, which has a plinth with raised rusticated quoins, an eaves band, and gutter brackets. This addition has two bays and features two bays of sash windows with plain stone surrounds and projecting sills. The house has four stacks, one of which backs onto the through passage that includes a stop-chamfered post from a former fire-screen. The heavy tie-beams, which are closely spaced and have mortices on the soffit, may suggest that an earlier timber-framed house existed before this structure was built in 1731, which is designed in a typical 17th century style. Only the north doorway reflects the influence of the 18th century.
