Description

Number 85 is a farmhouse with an attached outbuilding and garden walls, possibly dating from the 17th century but built around 1800, with 19th-century alterations. It is constructed from whitewashed rubble and features a stone slate roof with later brick stacks. The building is a two-unit range and a former agricultural structure.

The exterior is two storeys high, with an off-centre doorway that has a plank door. There is a blocked doorway to the left and a two-light casement window beyond it. To the right, there is a four-pane casement window and a plank door leading to the outbuilding. Above, to the left, are two small two-pane windows, while the gable ends are blank. The rear of the building has a single window on the ground floor.

Inside, there are two splay windows, one in the rear and one in the front of the right-hand room. The walls are approximately 70 centimeters thick, and the low interior suggests that a floor was inserted later. The beams in both rooms are narrow and deep, with the beam in the right-hand room featuring triangular stops. This room also has a stone fireplace with a square head and machine tooling on the lintel. A straight flight of stairs rises from the left-hand room to the upper rooms, which are located within the roof space. The roof has two side purlins and a crude ridge pole, with closely set rafters.

The interior of the attached agricultural building is open to the roof, with crude branches used as rafters and as tie beams. The property also features dry-stone garden walls at the front. Number 85 and Number 87 are believed to be the remains of the former independent hamlet of Buxton-le-Grene.
