Description
Booley House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century, with an early 19th-century addition and mid to late 19th-century alterations. It features a timber frame with plastered infill panels set on a high dressed red sandstone plinth, topped by a plain tile roof. The framing consists of small square panels, with four extending from the sole plate to the wall plate, and the building has three framed bays. It is two storeys high with an attic, and has a chamfered plinth.
There are two gabled timber-framed eaves dormers, each with 2-light wooden casements. The house has an off-centre brick ridge stack to the right and an integral brick end stack to the left. There are two 2-light wooden casements on the first floor and three on the ground floor. A late 19th-century gabled brick porch is located between the first and second windows from the left; it features a stone plinth, chamfered corners, a chamfered arch with ogee stops, and a boarded door with a fanlight.
Inside, the right-hand gable end has a collar and tie-beam truss with queen struts. A mid to late 19th-century red sandstone ashlar addition is present on the left, which is one storey high with a gable-lit attic and a 2-light wooden casement at the front. At the rear, there is an early 19th-century two-storey red brick wing, which includes glazing bar sashes and a door in the angle with six flush panels, a four-part rectangular overlight, and a late 19th-century lean-to porch.
The interior features early 19th-century remodelling, including a central ground-floor room with a pair of chamfered beams and a large segmental-arched fireplace that has a small early 19th-century fireplace inserted. The early 19th-century staircase has stick balusters and a turned foot newel post, and there are boarded doors with L- and strap hinges.
