Description
Haw Farmhouse, now divided into two houses, was originally built in the early 18th century and extended in the late 18th and 20th centuries. The west part of the building is constructed of vitreous brick, while the east part is of red brick, with an old tile roof featuring hips and a half-hip. The farmhouse is two storeys and has an attic. There are two chimneys on the right-hand ridge of the roof, a taller chimney on the left-hand ridge, and another chimney on a 20th-century extension to the left. A brick plinth runs along the base, and the right-hand portion has sash windows with glazing bars set within rubbed brick arches. The left-hand portion has segmental arches above the windows. The south front features the oldest part on the right, which has a brick plinth, a string course, and moulded wooden eaves. It has two bays and a dormer in the centre with a flat lead roof and a two-light casement. To the left of this, there are two bays containing tripartite sash windows. The east front has four bays, with the two bays on the left blocked. A tall stair window is situated in the second bay from the right. A plain 19th-century brick porch with an arched entry sits between the right-hand bay and the stair window. Inside, a notable early 18th-century dog-leg staircase rises over four flights, featuring turned balusters and square newels with moulded tops.
