Hoarstone Farmhouse

Hoarstone Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, remodelled in the early 18th century, with some late 20th-century alterations. It features a timber frame that is partially clad in brick and sandstone ashlar. The garden front is made of brick and has two projecting cross-wings, with a two-storey gabled porch at the right angle and a dentilled band at the ground floor.

The building has two storeys with an attic in the right-hand cross-wing, which was once lit by a blocked three-light window. On the first floor, there are a total of five windows: a tripartite glazed sash under a segmental head that is cut through a wider segmental head, a single-light casement, a four-light casement, a three-light casement with two lights blocked, and another three-light casement under a segmental head.

On the ground floor, there are four windows: a sixteen-pane sash under a wider segmental head, a three-light casement under a wider segmental head, a two-light casement, and a three-light casement under a segmental head. The entrance to the left of the central window features a 19th-century studded plank door, while the entrance in the left-hand return front of the porch has a 17th-century studded door. There is a lateral stack on the left-hand cross-wing made of ashlar, with two six-point star-plan brick shafts that retain decorative brick caps.

At the rear, there is a sandstone ashlar wing with stone mullioned windows, and the first floor slightly jetties over the ground floor. The framing consists of four square panels high with straight tension braces.

Inside, there are two exceptional panelled rooms in the left-hand cross-wing. On the ground floor, there is an overmantel featuring a pair of dragons in high relief above an arcade with a series of human figures below, and the panelling is oak grained, likely from the 18th century. On the first floor, there is a similar overmantel and unpainted panelling with a fluted frieze.
