Hemsworth Lanes Farmhouse

Hemsworth Lanes Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse that has been altered and enlarged. It is built of coursed squared sandstone, with some parts rendered, and features a stone slate roof. The building has a T-shaped plan, consisting of a two-unit main range oriented east-west, with a single-unit rear wing on the north side. It is two stories high with an attic and includes a moulded plinth and moulded dripbands on two levels, the lower of which is stepped.

The ground floor has been rendered and the openings altered, but remnants of a mullioned window can be seen to the right of the inserted central doorway. The first floor has four square recessed windows, which were originally cross-windows but have been modified. Above these windows is a dripband, and the wall has been raised by four courses. The left return wall is rendered and features a coupled twelve-pane fixed window on each floor. The right return wall has coupled windows at the ground floor, an altered former transomed window at the first floor, and a small attic window. The rear wall has a cut-down external chimney stack located between the main range and a 19th-century addition, which has a chamfered plinth, a first-floor band that continues from the main range, a doorway to the right, coupled cross windows to the left, and a large three-light casement at the first floor that replaced a formerly similar window.

Inside, the former rear wall of the main range features a large Tudor-arched doorway with a chamfered surround and a massive studded door. The first bay is said to contain a very large stone arched fireplace and beams, although these are now concealed. The second bay has cross-corner fireplaces on both floors, with the upper room featuring a large moulded plaster overmantel that includes a square cartouche surrounded by raised pomegranates, all set within an architrave with Ionic pilasters and a dentilled cornice.
