Top Farmhouse

Top Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with a front that was remodeled in the 17th and 18th centuries, along with some 19th-century alterations. It features a cruck timber frame that is encased in coursed squared sandstone and partly rebuilt in red brick, with sandstone dressings. The original thatched roof is visible beneath a later corrugated iron roof, and the building has stone coped gables, a central brick ridge stack, and large stepped external stone stacks on the east and west gables, with the eastern stack mostly rebuilt in red brick. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has four bays.

On the south elevation, there is an off-centre four-centred arched doorcase, flanked by 19th-century three-light casement windows that sit under large flush lintels. To the east, there is a three-light 18th-century flush mullion window with casements. Above, there are two similar windows at each end of the building.

The north elevation features a four-light recessed and chamfered 17th-century mullion window to the east, with an opening of a similar size to the west. There is a quoined doorcase and a blocked three-light recessed and chamfered mullion window beyond. Further along, there is a 19th-century lean-to that covers a blocked single light recessed and chamfered window. Above this lean-to are the remains of two four-light and one three-light recessed and chamfered mullion windows. Inside, the farmhouse has three large cruck trusses.
