Appletree Farmhouse And Attached Boundary Wall

Appletree Farmhouse, dated 1794, features an attached boundary wall and has undergone 19th-century alterations. The building is constructed from regularly coursed squared gritstone with ashlar dressings, and it has coped gables with plain kneelers, gable stacks (one made of brick and the other of ashlar), and a Welsh slated roof. The farmhouse is designed in an L-plan and has a west elevation that is two storeys high and consists of three bays.

The central doorway is framed by a massive surround and lintel, with a shallow rectangular overlight above and a four-panelled door. On either side of the doorway are stacked stone-framed windows, which have flush surrounds except for the sills. The glazing bar sashes, which are two over three panes, are late 19th-century replacements of earlier sashes. Above the doorway, there is a smaller semicircular headed window with a flush stone surround and a projecting keyblock. Between the doorway and the window, a plaque with a moulded cornice is inscribed with 'O B R 1794'.

The attached boundary wall is made of flagstones set on edge and stands approximately one metre high. It connects to square gatepiers at the entrance on the south side of the house, which features upswept double boarded gates.
