Cause Castle Farmhouse

Cause Castle Farmhouse is a farmhouse built soon after 1810, shown on the Ordnance Survey map as Causecastle Farm. It features a rendered exterior, likely over coursed sandstone rubble, and has a slate roof. The building is designed in an L-plan with two stages and an attic, characterized by deep eaves and three symmetrically placed brick ridge stacks.

The northeast front has a symmetrical arrangement of four bays, with the center and outer bays slightly projecting and topped with triangular-pedimented gables. The windows are 12- and 20-paned glazing bar sashes, with the second and fourth bays on the ground floor being blind. The central entrance features a pair of half-glazed doors, which are glazed with small panes, and is flanked by a three-bay cast iron porch supported by plain circular columns and topped with a flat roof and diagonally strutted wrought-iron balustrade.

At the rear, there are roof dormers and a rendered brick lower wing. Although the interior has not been inspected, it is reported to contain some reused timbers and is likely to hold further interest. The farmhouse is situated on the slope of a hill, northwest of the extensive earthworks of Caus Castle.
