Building Dated 1720 20 Metres To South East Of Rear Of Barn Attached To Swift Place Farmhouse

This building, dated 1720, is located 20 meters southeast of the rear of the barn attached to Swift Place Farmhouse in Ripponden. It is a single-storey structure of uncertain purpose, possibly a summerhouse, and is currently unoccupied. The door lintel features the inscription "E H 1720". The building is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and has a stone slate roof.

The doorway has a cyma moulded surround, and to the right are two double chamfered mullioned cross-windows. The building also has quoins, and the right-hand return wall includes a small light for the cellar and two cross-windows. The hipped roof is present at this end. The rear of the building features a lateral stack to the left of a through-passage doorway, along with a window that has a chamfered surround. The north end has a coped gable with chamfered coping and a doorway at attic level with tie-stone jambs.

Inside, there are two rooms on either side of the cross passage. The room to the north is a pigsty, while the room to the south, which is lit by a cross-window, contains a fireplace with a cyma moulded surround.
