Middle Bottomley

Middle Bottomley is a mid-17th century house with an attached barn, dated 1784. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone and has a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys, with the left end serving as the barn, which features a semi-circular arched cart entry above which is a datestone with the initials B. The windows have been inserted to match the original design, forming a dwelling in the style of an I F layout.

Originally, the house had a gable entry that is now covered by the barn. A double chamfered two-light fire window has been converted into a doorway. There is a double chamfered mullioned window with five lights, although it is missing two mullions, and it has a hoodmould. Above this window is a chamfered six-light window that retains two king mullions. At the right end, there is a five-light double chamfered mullioned window that has been partly altered to create a doorway in the 19th century. Above this is a chamfered mullioned window with four lights, from which two mullions have been removed. The building has two original gable stacks at the ridge, with an additional stack added to the barn in the mid-20th century.

Inside, the house retains stop-chamfered spine beams with scarf joints along the line of the former bressumer. The interior division wall between the housebody and the parlour is made of large single stone slabs that are splayed out to support the spine beams and features two doorways with simple chamfered surrounds. The parlour includes a groove on the soffit of the spine beam for an internal board and muntin division wall, along with a two-light double chamfered mullioned window. The rear of the house has been extended to form a double pile, featuring watershot masonry from the late 18th or early 19th century, likely contemporary with the barn.
