Castle Farmhouse

Castle Farmhouse is a substantial Victorian mock Gothic castle built in the mid-19th century. It features a turret, towers, battlements, a gatehouse, and a stable block, constructed from dressed stone and rubblestone with stone slate roofs. The front facade includes, from the right, a three-storey square embattled tower with two arch-headed windows and lancets. The main two-storey range has three large arch-headed windows and four slightly shorter windows above, all with rusticated sills. A string course runs around the three-storey turret, which has false staircase lancets next to a five-storey tower with lancets on each floor. Above the entrance to the rear courtyard is a three-storey tower with lancets and machicolation, all of which are embattled. To the left, the stable block features rusticated battlements and arch-headed doorways and windows for shire horse stalls. An embattled tower with machicolation balances the facade at the end. The rear of the building forms an intimate courtyard with outbuildings.

Castle Farmhouse was built by the Shaw family, mill owners from Holywell Green, and bears a remarkable similarity to the towers in Shaw Park. It served as the residence for the bailiff who bred shire horses for Brookroyd Mills and was later known as Redman's, named after the bailiff of the Shaw Estate.
