ARNESBY ROBERT HALL STREET (west side) Home Farmhouse

GV II House. C18 but with earlier core, probably late C16 or early C17. Brick with fragments of timber frame, Welsh slate roof. Two storeyed, two unit plan with centrally placed six-panelled door and three-light window to its left. This consists of two lights of a cambered headed window, and one flat headed light, and immediately to its right is a blocked single cambered headed light. Right-hand bay also contains a three-light casement, unrelated to two blocked cambered heads. Immediately to right of doorway are two timber posts, set close together, one on a padstone, one storey high. Two upper three-light casement windows. Brick plinth and sill band. Gable and axial stacks. One other vertical principal post on padstone visible in rear wall. Single storeyed range adjoins to the left. It was formerly two storeyed, containing inglenook fireplace to former kitchen. Although in recent times it has always been part of the house, perhaps it was originally a separate dwelling. It is brick with Welsh slate roof, and contains a single small light to street front. Axial stack.

Inside the main part of the house. Inglenook in left-hand bay, heavy chamfered spine beam, and joists with ogivally moulded chamfer stop.
