Longley Farmhouse

Longley Farmhouse, now a house, has 17th-century origins with significant alterations and additions dating to the 18th century, likely around 1735, as suggested by a datestone. The house is constructed of coursed squared stone with a stone slate roof. It is two storeys high and originally two bays wide, with a third bay added to the left. The south front features quoins to the left of the left bay. The windows have plain stone surrounds, with flat-faced mullions. The left bay has an inserted French window and a 4-light window above. Shaped gutter brackets are present, along with shaping kneelers and a renewed end stack from around 1985 to the left end. A later 20th-century part-glazed porch is situated to the left of the front door, featuring a decorative date plaque, obscured by ivy, reading "IH/1734". To the right of the door are two 2-light windows on each floor, and a further inserted French window with a 2-light window above to the far right. There is a shaped kneeler to the right gable, and end stacks are present. Internally, the housebody contains a chamfered basket-arched stone fireplace with a deep lintel and cornice, supported by chamfered spine beams. A king-post roof truss features a large tie beam and later struts, and reused large-scantling purlins are also present.
