Black Dyke Farmhouse And Attached Barn

Black Dyke Farmhouse is a house from the early 17th century that was altered when an attached barn was added, replacing the service end in the early 18th century. At that time, an addition was made to the parlour end, reusing windows from the service end. The service end features smaller coursed rubble, while the rest of the house is built from larger hammer-dressed stone and has a stone slate roof. The original layout was a three-room plan with a through passage.

The south front has quoins and three chamfered windows that were formerly two lights each, along with a four-light chamfered mullioned window and a three-light window above. The house body includes double chamfered mullioned windows with six lights and three lights (the latter being a fire-window) with additional lights opened between them. The first floor has a four-light chamfered mullioned window. The through-passage doorway features a stop-chamfered surround. There is a tall cart entry and a mistal doorway, both with chamfered surrounds. The rear has a segmental arch cart entry to the left of the through-passage doorway, which is blocked to form a window, with disturbed stonework between. It also has chamfered mullioned windows with two and three lights.

Inside, the house body has finely reeded spine beams with scarf joints, indicating the presence of a former bressumer, which has been replaced by an early 18th-century segmental arched fireplace supported by corbelled jambs and a cyma moulded surround. An oak fire-screen made of oak planks and muntins with reeding is still preserved. Other rooms feature softwood beams and fireplaces with stone shelves.
