Description

Fairfax House is a house dated 1630, which was rebuilt around 1905. It is constructed from coursed squared gritstone and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and three first-floor windows. The central entrance has a top-glazed door set in a chamfered quoined surround, with a large lintel shaped into a shallow pointed arch. This arch includes an incised panel with raised lettering that reads 'TAP-WP 1630', and there are stone brackets with flat moulding above the door.

On the ground floor, there are two 5-light recessed chamfered mullion windows with hoodmoulds and carved stops, while the first floor has a combination of 4-, 2-, and 4-light mullion windows. The house features cyma-moulded kneelers and gable copings, along with shaped finials. The interior has not been inspected.

Originally, a 17th-century house stood on this site at right angles to the road, which by 1905 had been converted into three disused cottages. The stonework from these cottages was reused to construct the new house in the Vernacular Revival style by 1911. The re-set brackets above the door resemble those found at Weetwood Hall, which dates to 1625. The rebuilt house was known as Hawcaster House.
