Description

Hawthorne Farmhouse, now a guesthouse, was originally built in the early 17th century and extended in 1905, with further alterations made in the early 20th century. The farmhouse is constructed of whitewashed rubble with painted gritstone dressings, and has a slate roof with one brick stack and two stone stacks. The original design was a T-shaped plan consisting of a main range and a crosswing, featuring a cross passage entrance and a principal room on the right and service rooms on the left. A small staircase extension was added to the front northwest angle, and a wing was added to the rear of the house in 1905.

The south garden front has three windows arranged in a 1:2 pattern, with a projecting gable to the left containing two irregular windows and a single window above. The rear wing, set back to the right, features a 20th-century door and two windows to the left, with two 2-light casements above. The re-entrant angle to the left has a small staircase window with glazing bars. The north entrance front has a projecting square bay window with cross casements and a small window to the right, with a 2-light casement above. The left gable has a plain sash window with a 2-light casement above. The west front of the later wing features a 2-light casement and a timber square oriel window with three casements and a flat roof, alongside another casement. The north gable front has a doorway with a cross casement to the right and a single central casement above. All windows have late 19th-century casements with diamond leaded lights.

Internally, original features remain, including an enclosed roof with a visible truss, characterized by queen struts and pegged principals. Two round-headed wooden door cases are present - one on the first floor and one on the ground. The principal room on the front right has a corbelled stone fireplace. The kitchen has an ovolo moulded beam, exposed joists, a salt box to the chimney breast, a splay window, and a flag floor, featuring a 19th-century ornate carved surround to the fireplace.
