Lord'S Farmhouse, And Attached Barn, Wall And Stable

This is a late 17th and early 18th century farmhouse, substantially remodelled around 1800. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with a hipped stone slate roof and has brick ridge stacks rebuilt in the 20th century. The building follows an L-shape, with a rear wing to the right. The front has two storeys and a three-window arrangement. A six-panelled door, with carved brackets supporting an open-pediment hood, is centrally positioned. Timber lintels top an 8-pane sash window with shutters to the left, and deep 6-pane sashes flank a 19th century two-light casement with glazing bars on the first floor. All ground floor windows have timber lintels. The rear wing is of limestone rubble with some Flemish bond brickwork and a gabled stone slate roof; it was largely rebuilt around 1800. Inside, the farmhouse retains 17th century step-chamfered beams, a stop-chamfered bressumer above an open fireplace on the left, and a similar, smaller fireplace to the right, flanked by late 17th or early 18th century panelled cupboard doors. The first floor was not inspected. A barn, built of similar materials, adjoins the farmhouse to the left; it has a timber lintel over plank double doors. A 3-metre long wall to the rear of the barn connects to a late 18th century stable, also constructed of similar materials.
