Description
Ling's Farmhouse and attached stable range is a farmhouse dating from around 1800, now without a farm. It is constructed from coursed ironstone with brick dressings and features a roof made of black glazed pantiles. The building is designed in an L-plan. The north-west and north-east fronts have no doors and consist of two window bays over two storeys. The windows are three-light mullioned casements set under segmental brick arches. There is a dentiled brick eaves cornice with chamfered bricks. The hipped roof has a ridge stack on the north-east side and a rebuilt gable-end stack at the south-west gable head, both made of brick. The rear of the farmhouse includes a door at the angle of the two wings, positioned below one three-light casement as previously described, and there is one two-light casement on the south-west face of the cross wing. A contemporary two-bay extension, which is two storeys high and has similar details, abuts the south-west gable and features a gabled roof. Extending south-west from the farmhouse is a single-storey stable range, which includes a basket-arched carriage entrance and two flanking loose box doors, both set under segmental arches.
