Description

Walton Common Farmhouse is a house that likely dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and a four-bay facade with quoins. The second bay includes a doorway with a depressed Tudor-arched lintel, while the third bay has a large mid-20th century gabled porch with double doors. The outer bays and all first-floor windows have chamfered mullions, almost square reveals, and arched lights with sunken spandrels beneath hoodmoulds. The outer windows have three lights, and the central two bays contain two-light windows. The house has coped gables with kneelers and external stacks that have quoined angles and shoulders with offsets.
