Description

Blackhouse Fold is a 17th-century, much altered, traditional two-storey stone house located on Keighley Road in Illingworth. It features a nail-rendered exterior and a stone roof. The main (east) front has four later stone-framed windows, while the gabled south return retains its original mullioned and transomed windows, which have carved labels, with the upper window being stepped.
