Lady Arbour Farmhouse

Lady Arbour Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century and mid-20th century. It is constructed of rubble and features a hipped stone tiled roof with swept, overhanging bracketed eaves. The roof was re-tiled around 1940, and the main ridge has a rebuilt brick stack. There are original rubble end chimneys with handmade brick stacks and segmental-arched blind arcading that includes impost bands.

The building is two storeys high, with an attic that has a dormer and a cellar. It has four bays, and the windows feature 19th-century ashlar sills. The ground floor windows have 19th-century hoodmoulds with returns, and the main storey windows are of the mullion and transom type, with some original solid frames. However, the window in the third bay of the ground floor has been replaced with a three-light casement. The central hipped-roofed dormer contains a two-light casement.

The main entrance, located in the second bay, has a 19th-century gabled painted brick porch with a four-centred archway and double doors, which leads to an original 17th-century door. To the left end of the farmhouse is a single-storey and attic service wing that has five bays and features a small area of timber-framing with brick infill on the front elevation. The fenestration in this wing is irregular and includes mostly inserted 20th-century casements, along with a 20th-century gabled timber porch.

At the rear left end, there is a two-bay rubble wing, with the lower part of its walls dating to the 17th century or earlier. Adjacent to the right end of the main house is a three-bay single-storey converted pigsty, which has two two-light 20th-century casements and a door on its front elevation.

Inside, the farmhouse retains timber-framed internal walling with rendered infill. The main ceiling beams are stop-chamfered, and some original panelling and doors are still in place, along with an original dog-leg staircase that features a moulded handrail and square moulded newels. The house was originally built in an E-plan configuration, with the central rear wing housing the staircase; however, the space between the wings has been filled in, likely during the 19th century.
