Description
Luckinghouse Farmhouse is a house dating from around 1550, featuring a main range with 17th century gabled additions to the south and a medieval range to the west that has an inserted floor. There are some 18th century finishings present. The structure is timber framed and plastered, topped with red plain tiled roofs. The main range has two small gables with barge boards, while the west range includes one dormer and two catslides, all gables adorned with scalloped barge boards. There are two red brick chimney stacks, with the western stack having attached diagonal shafts.
The building has a window arrangement of two, one, and one, featuring square leaded casements, with those in the main range having drip hoods above. Inside, the farmhouse contains three inglenook fireplaces and retains original flooring in some rooms, along with exposed timber framing. The roof is a fully framed double side purlin type. Some 17th century iron windows with cobra head catches are present, as well as 17th century panelling on the staircase and 18th century doors and finishings. There is an attached bakehouse and dairy, with the bakehouse featuring a 15th century oak truncated moulded mantel beam above a similarly altered red brick fireplace.
