Description
Oldridge Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1723, with some minor alterations from the 20th century. It is constructed from coursed dressed and squared stone of ashlar quality, featuring tiled roofs, verge parapets on corbelled kneelers, and pitched copings with ball finials, which are unusually set on pierced fretted blocks. The building has ashlar ridge stacks and is two stories tall with an attic, presenting a three-window main front on a plinth divided into two parts.
To the right, there is a taller gabled projecting wing with a single central range of windows of chamfered mullioned type. This wing includes two lights in the attic above a labelled four-light window on the first floor and a deeper, wider labelled three-light window on the ground floor, which is set immediately over the plinth. The lower set-back wing to the left features a range of four-light chamfered mullioned windows at the left end, with the ground floor window labelled and a central mullion missing. There is also a small round-arch window to the right above the entrance, which has a lintel inscribed with "TM" and a part-glazed 20th-century door. The rear elevation is similarly complete.
