Description

Lonsdale Farmhouse is a house dating back to the 17th century, with later additions from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, forming an L-shaped layout. Small 20th-century lean-to extensions are present along the roadside. The house is constructed with render over rubble stone, with Collyweston slate roofs, coped gables, and ashlar chimneys featuring moulded cornices.

The two-bay west wing has a concealed plaque indicating it was built in 1660. It has an attic and cellar, and retains a lobby entry plan with the floor levels of the west bay raised over the cellar. The south front retains original ground floor windows with three lights, featuring ovolo-moulded limestone mullions and cyma recta cornices. A similar two-light cellar window is also original, and a blocked single-light window with an ovolo-moulded ironstone surround may be an insertion. The first floor has 20th-century wooden casements, and the attic has a 20th-century skylight. A central boarded entrance door retains traces of a former gabled porch. This wing has a central chimney and another to the right with moulded necking. The east wing has flanking chimneys and a hipped roof at the right end.

The east front has three-light windows with limestone surrounds and square mullions, where each light has a beaded edge and a single slender horizontal glazing bar. A central four-panelled door has a marginally-glazed rectangular fanlight and a re-sited cyma recta cornice above.

Inside the 17th-century wing, there is a moulded stone fireplace with a four-centred arch in the southwest corner of the ground floor room, and remains of a similar fireplace in the upper room of the east bay. The ground floor of the east wing has a large fireplace with an ovolo-moulded wooden lintel and a later wooden cornice. Other interior features include stop-chamfered spine beams and old board and two-panel doors.
