Description
Rockyfold Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the 17th century and has been altered in the 20th century. It is constructed of thinly coursed rubble and features a roof made of asbestos slate, corrugated iron, and stone slate. The gable ends have 20th-century brick chimneys. The building has an L-plan layout, resembling a longhouse. It includes a two-bay cross-wing at the south end of a two-bay north/south range, which extends northward as a byre (one bay) and includes a later 19th-century cow house and loft (also one bay). There is a 20th-century lean-to in the re-entrant angle and part of the south flank of the cross-wing.
On the east elevation, there is a wide gable to the left with a rebuilt chimney, a small stair-light to the left, and a wider window to the right that was formerly a five-light mullioned window. A raking-top dormer is present in the return. The north/south range has a 20th-century rebuilt wall, a raking-top dormer, and a three-light casement window on the ground floor with a concrete lintel, along with a 20th-century gabled porch to the right. The cow-byre extension, which has a tin roof, features a blocked doorway with a slab-hood and a present door to the right, along with a 20th-century window with a concrete lintel. The right-hand bay, which has a stone slate roof, is slightly taller and includes a loft door. The south flank has a depressed two-centred arch head doorway at the west end, and there is another doorway at the west entrance to the cow byre, which is now obscured by later buildings.
Inside, there is one pair of cruck blades that are truncated below collar level in the byre, just north of its junction with the domestic part. A plank and muntin screen formerly divided the two bays of the cross-wing. There are diamond section mullion slots in the window opening at first floor level between the two byres, as well as similar slots in the opening for a four-light window in the ground floor west wall of the south byre.
