New York Farmhouse

This is a late 18th-century farmhouse located on the north side of Rochdale Road, Ripponden. The house is built of hammer-dressed stone with ashlar quoins and has a stone slate roof. It is a double-pile building, meaning it has two rows of rooms arranged behind a central corridor. The symmetrical front facade has three bays, with all the dressed stonework projecting from the wall’s face. The doorway features monolithic jambs, a pulvinated frieze, and a triangular pediment. Above the doorway is a single-light sash window, and to either side are two-light sash windows with plain stone surrounds. The house has gutter brackets and an eaves cornice, with two stacks positioned along the ridge.

Inside, the entrance hall contains an open string staircase with paired turned balusters to each riser, a ramped handrail, and a tall stair window at the landing level, featuring decorative margin lights. There are also some four-panelled doors with raised and fielded panels.
