Finneylane Farmhouse

Finneylane Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1610, with minor 20th-century alterations. It is constructed from roughly coursed dressed and squared stone, featuring more finely-worked block quoins and window surrounds. The roof is tiled, with pitched verge parapets and ball finials. There is a coursed ashlar ridge stack to the right of center and side stacks. The building is of H-plan type with a through-passage, standing two stories and an attic high, with a five-window front and projecting flanking gables.

The left-hand gable has a labelled 2-light chamfered mullioned window in the attic above a similar 3-light window on the first floor, and a 20th-century but sympathetic 4-light window on the ground floor. The right gable has a 3-light window, a 5-light window, and a 20th-century three-light window on the ground floor in an enlarged opening. A datestone above the first-floor window is inscribed: WfAF. The set-back hall wing has two 20th-century windows on the ground floor, and a 1610 17th-century chamfered mullioned 4-light window to the left of the first floor, with a 2-light window to the right above a lean-to porch that has a Tudor-arch entry and a set-back boarded door. There are further mullioned windows on the sides and rear of the house.

Inside, the through-passage runs against the stone fire back of the hall stack. The upper (north) end of the hall features a stud and plank partition, and there is a large chamfered beam over the fireplace to the south. A garderobe is located in the upper chamber to the north of the hall, and the first-floor solar window has cavetto reveals. The roof is a tie beam design with double purlins bearing windbraces above and below. There is a further reset stud and plank partition on the first floor. The house was built by William and Anne Finney.
