Hospital Farmhouse

Hospital Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with early 19th-century additions. The original structure is built of coursed ironstone, while the later additions are made of brick, all topped with pantiled roofs. The 17th-century part of the house is two storeys high and has three bays, with the east bay now part of the 19th-century addition.

The south front features a projecting full-height porch with a sloping roof, which has an arched entrance beneath a moulded hood. Above the entrance is a two-light mullioned window, with hollow moulded mullions. The west bay contains a similar three-light window on each floor, both of which have hood moulds. The gabled roof includes a gabled dormer set into the porch roof, while the east gable head has two blind ovals with keystones beneath a twin-flued internal gable-end stack. The eaves of the gable parapet are adorned with shaped limestone obelisks.

At the rear of the 17th-century range, there is a contrasting 20th-century door opposite a 19th-century casement window, and in the east bay, there is a late 18th-century sash window with glazing bars on each floor, both under 17th-century hoods. The early 19th-century additions consist of a tall brick cross wing that decreases in height to a second block further north, both of which are two storeys high and lit by two or three-light casements, featuring gabled roofs and ridge stacks.

Inside, the farmhouse retains an early 17th-century dog-leg staircase that leads to the attic. This staircase has a moulded closed string with turned balusters supporting a moulded handrail, square newel posts with ball finials, and ball pendants. The roof structure includes tie beams, principals, and butt purlins.
