Hulse Grounds Farmhouse

This is a farmhouse, now a house, likely dating from the early 18th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of uncoursed limestone rubble, with stone slate roofs. The roof of the cross-wings features moulded coped verges to the front and is hipped at the rear. It has a U-shaped plan, consisting of a main range with gabled cross-wings which have been truncated at the rear. The house is two stories high. The windows are arranged in a 1:2:1 pattern. The cross-wings have three-light, chamfered stone mullions with 18th-century casements and dripstones. A window on the ground floor of the main range, originally part of the front wall, was moved when a lean-to was built between the wings. Other windows are 19th-century, with a 20th-century casement replacing a former central doorway. The lean-to is open to the centre and right bays. Access is through a boarded door on the right side of the lean-to and in the left return of the right cross-wing. The end stacks of the main range have been largely rebuilt in concrete. Behind the main range is a two-story outshut, with the ground floor formerly used as a dairy. The interior of the cross-wings now consists of single rooms, with a stone-flag floor in the right-hand room. A bread oven is within the remodelled fireplace of the main range's right-hand room. A 20th-century lean-to attached to the rear of the left cross-wing is not of architectural significance.
