Reaside Farmhouse

Reaside Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with additions and alterations from around 1800 and the early to mid-19th century. The building features a timber frame with plastered infill and brick, showcasing painted sham framing. The southwest range, added around 1800, is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with a rendered front and brick-dentilled eaves. There is a 19th-century brick range to the east, and the roofs are covered with clay tiles, topped with brick chimneys.

The farmhouse has an irregular L-plan and is two stories high. The two-bay south front includes a 19th-century four-panelled door and three-light casement windows with horizontal glazing bars; the ground floor window is set beneath a segmental arch. A former full-height stair window to the right of the door is now boarded between the floors. The left end and front-right corner have stacks, while the right end of the roof is hipped and extends as a catslide over the timber-framed range set back on the right.

The east front features a one-storey and attic timber-framed range set back to the left, with paired two-light casements. The one-storey and attic, two-bay brick range has a boarded door to the right of two windows with segmental arches, along with two full dormers of differing sizes, and two-light casements with horizontal glazing bars throughout. The irregular rear includes a single-bay timber-framed range at the angle, which has a large external end stack. The brick range features a corner stack and a lean-to projection that houses a bread oven.

Inside, the scullery in the mid-19th-century range to the east has a cast-iron range, a bread oven, and a wash copper. A 17th-century boarded door in the timber-framed side wall leads to the kitchen, which has a chamfered spine beam and a former open fireplace with a wooden lintel. There are stone stairs leading down to a small cellar dug beneath the timber-framed section in the southeast corner. The stone range from around 1800 includes a six-panel door leading into the parlour, which features fielded-panel window shutters and a Neoclassical plaster frieze, along with oak floorboarding and a staircase. The first floor has 17th-century and later oak floorboarding, with some exposed wall posts.
