Description
This is a pair of farmhouses built in 1752, which were refenestrated in the late 20th century. The buildings are constructed from coursed and squared limestone with limestone ashlar dressings and feature a slate roof. They have a chamfered plinth, coped gables with kneelers, and two gable and one central ridge coped stone stacks. The farmhouses are three storeys high, plus garrets, and consist of seven bays.
The symmetrical south side has two fronts. The left front features a half-glazed 20th-century door with a glazing bar overlight, flanked by single wooden cross mullioned casements. The right front has a 20th-century half-glazed door with an overlight and a flanking light to the left, also flanked by single wooden cross mullioned casements. Above each front, there is a central blind window flanked by single wooden cross casements, and above that, a smaller blind window flanked by single two-light casements. Between the two fronts, there is a datestone inscribed "ATW 1752". Each gable has a blocked casement window in the garret.
Outside, there is early 19th-century cast iron spearhead railing with two gates and posts topped with finials. To the left, there is an adjoining boundary wall in an L-shape, measuring 5 meters long, with a blue brick coping.
