1, 2, 3 And 5 And 4, Goose Nest Lane

This is a farmhouse, now divided into three dwellings, alongside an attached cottage, located off Goose Nest Lane, Sowerby Bridge. The farmhouse dates to 1677, as indicated by a lintel inscription, and was subdivided in the early to mid-19th century. The cottage was built in the late 18th century, with a later 19th-century extension. The buildings are constructed of coursed squared stone with stone slate roofs.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and retains three bays, featuring a through passage, a central rear wing, and an outshut to the rear left. A two-bay cottage projects forward on the right. The farmhouse has double-chamfered mullion windows. The left bay has a 5-light window (now 3-light) on each floor, to the left of the doorway with a plain stone surround. A similar doorway sits to the left of a 6-light (now 3-light) window, with a 5-light (now 3-light) window above. The third bay has a stop-chamfered doorway with a deep dated lintel above which is a 3-light window (mullions removed). A continuous ground-floor dripmould features decorative heart stops on the first two bays. An external stack is located at the left end, with a ridge stack on the right. The projecting gable-end of the cottage has a blocked plain stone surround doorway in the left return and another door in the added bay.

The rear wing has a lean-to addition of no particular interest. The cottage's right return shows quoins marking the original extent of the house, which has two 2-light flat-faced mullion windows on each floor.

Inside the farmhouse, the through passage (in dwellings 3 and 5) has a chamfered, quoined, shallow Tudor-arched doorway on the left, leading into the main housebody (dwelling 2). This area reveals the outline of an arched fireplace, a stop-chamfered spine beam, and a similar doorway that leads into the rear wing (dwellings 3 and 5). The rear wing also features a large fireplace with a formerly moulded surround and a deep basket-arched lintel, along with chamfered spine beams, stop-chamfered joists, and wide first-floor floorboards. The walling to the right of the gable stack on the rear wing is set back, displaying double-chamfered mullion windows of 4 lights (now 2) on the ground floor and 2 lights (now 1) above. The left return of the rear wing has a hollow-chamfered mullion window of 4 lights (now 2) on the first floor. The outshut on the right has a 2-light (now 1) chamfered mullion window and a taller 4-light double-chamfered mullion window to the right, where one original mullion has been removed and one light blocked.
