Description
Ramsden Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the early to mid-17th century, with alterations made in the mid-20th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features a roof with stone slates on the front and artificial stone slates on the rear. The building has a three-unit plan and stands two storeys high with a gable-lit attic. There is an integral stone end stack to the right and a stone ridge stack off-centre to the left. The first floor has three windows, while the ground floor has four; these are 2- and 3-light wooden casements with wooden lintels. A mid-20th century lean-to stone porch is located between the first and second windows from the right, featuring a boarded door in the centre. There is a straight joint off-centre to the left, and a gabled wing at the rear with a continuous outshut in the angle.
Inside, the farmhouse has large chamfered spine beams and an open stone fireplace in the right-hand ground-floor room, which has a chamfered wooden lintel. A semi-circular oak winder staircase leads from the first floor to the attic. The roof structure consists of five bays with collar-and-tie-beam trusses and pairs of purlins.
