Rycliff Farmhouse with attached garden wall

Rycliff Farmhouse, along with its attached garden wall, is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone and features a stone slate roof. The building is designed in an L-shape, consisting of a two-unit main range with a rear wing attached to the first unit.

The farmhouse has three storeys and a two-bay facade that was rebuilt in the 19th century, giving it a symmetrical appearance. It has a central doorway with an overlight and two four-pane sash windows on each floor, which decrease in height as they ascend. The gable ends have copings with kneelers and there are external gable chimneys. The left gable wall features a double-chamfered square window on each floor, located behind the chimney, all of which lack mullions.

The two-storey wing at the rear has a doorway and a three-light horizontal sliding sash window on the ground floor, with a similar two-light window above. This wing also has gable coping with kneelers and a gable chimney. A single-storey addition to the rear is not included in the listing.

At the back of the main range, there is a two-storey outshut that contains two two-light cellar windows. There is a former doorway located at the angle with the wing to the left, along with a transomed three-light window under a hoodmould with run-out ends. The rear also features an inserted doorway, an altered two-light window, and two similar windows above. The east gable wall, which is not clearly visible, appears to have some 17th-century features.

The interior has not been inspected but is reported to have been altered. The attached garden wall, which encloses a rectangular front garden, is likely contemporary with the farmhouse. It is made of large rectangular blocks with ridged coping. The front of the garden is lower than the right-hand side, and the left side is lower than the front. There is a small gateway at the junction with the left corner of the house.
