Number 65 And Adjoining Barn

This is an early to mid-19th century weaver’s house and adjoining barn, likely of 17th or early 18th century origin, and part of a farm group. The house is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof, featuring two ashlar stacks and moulded stone brackets to the gutter.

The house has a 5-light window to the left of the entrance, with one blocked light. Above is an 8-light window with 2 blocked lights. The rear of the house has large, paired windows, and at basement level, a 2-light double chamfered window. The gable end features an entrance, a single ground floor light, and an 8-light first floor window. A partly blocked taking-in-door is present on the first floor, along with a 3-light window at attic level.

A single-storey lean-to runs along the gable end of the house, constructed of coursed dressed rubble walls with large quoins and a stone slate roof. This lean-to extends from the middle of the gable end beyond the main front wall, with entrances on the side, front, and rear (facing the back garden), along with a 2-light window adjacent to the side door and several altered openings.

The barn features a large central carriage entrance with an elliptical arch, and smaller doors to the left and right, one of which is blocked. The rear of the barn has a blocked 3-light double chamfered window and a central 19th-century threshing door. The buildings are designated due to their origins in the 17th or early 18th centuries, the evidence they provide of the farmstead’s evolution through changes over time, and their retention of original features like roof joinery in the barn, original windows, and entrances. They are also characteristic of local vernacular architecture and demonstrate the presence of a local weaving industry, evidenced by the house's weavers’ windows.
