Description
Abbey Farmhouse is a farmhouse that is largely from the early 19th century but includes several earlier building phases. It is constructed of brick with some stonework and has plain tiled roofs. The building has two storeys and features a main range of two units with a central door in a porch, flanked by inserted casement windows on each floor, and gable-end stacks. There is evidence of an 18th-century building phase in this range, with earlier brickwork visible on the ground floor and a blocked window remaining at the rear. The rear wing contains substantial remains of a masonry structure, showing clear evidence of earlier walling and a chimney made of coursed and squared rubble. This stonework is said to have originated from Hulton Abbey.
