Numbers 3 And 6

Farmhouse, likely dating from the late 16th or 17th century, with 19th-century additions and alterations, possibly incorporating earlier fabric. The building is now divided. It has a roughcast timber frame on a high sandstone rubble plinth to the front, with roughly coursed limestone rubble additions and 19th-century red brick rebuilding. The roofs are covered in plain tiles, gableted to a short range projecting to the front. The basic layout is an L-shape, with the main range aligned north-east to south-west and a wide gabled range projecting to the rear; a lower range sits to the left of the main range, which in turn has a short projecting range to its right. A 19th-century addition is situated to the right of the main range. The building is two storeys high. The right gable end of the main range exhibits exposed timber framing, consisting of a collar and tie-beam truss with red brick infill. Asbestos sheeting covers the left gable end, which features projecting double-purlin and wall-plate ends. The window arrangement is irregular. The main range has a 20th-century casement window on the first floor, with a similar casement on the first floor of the short projecting range, which also has a 19th-century canted bay window on the ground floor. A rubblestone lean-to in the angle of the main range has a boarded door to the left and a 19th-century leaded casement to the right, with another 19th-century casement to the left of the lean-to. A doorway is located to the left of the lower addition to the left. There is an internal lateral stack to the front of the main range, with a late 20th-century red brick shaft; a roughcast ridge stack rises from the lower range to the left, and an axial stack is situated at the junction between the long range and the 19th-century addition. Inspection of the interior was not possible at the time of resurvey in September 1986, but it is likely to be of interest. The gableted roof of the projecting range bears some resemblance to the roof of the north tower at nearby Stokesay Castle.
