Description
Grimsdyke Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1770-1780, with an early 19th-century extension on the right. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and features gabled stone slate roofs, with a half-hipped roof on the left side. The building has brick end stacks on the central block and to the right. The layout consists of a three-unit plan. The front of the farmhouse has a central block that is two stories high with an attic and a two-window range, flanked by lower two-story blocks, which have one window to the left and two windows to the right. There are flat stone arches over the six-pane sash windows. The central block also includes a 19th-century canted bay window with sashes, next to an early 19th-century six-panel door (two of the panels are glazed) that has a flat hood above it, along with hipped half-dormers. At the rear, there are outshuts with Welsh slate and stone slate roofs that flank a central gabled wing with a stone slate roof. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
