Description

Young's Farm House is a house dating from the 17th century, possibly incorporating an older core. The building features a timber frame at the lower level with red brick infill, and the upper level is tile hung in alternating bands of fishscale and plain patterns. It has a plain tiled roof and a T-shaped plan with a gabled wing on the right side. The house is two storeys tall, with an attic in the gable, and has multiple corbelled and ribbed stacks at the junction of the ranges.

The front, which was originally the entrance, is now at the rear and features a rendered cove bellcast over the ground floor, with ironstone galletting in mortar at the eaves on the left pentice. The first floor has one three-light leaded casement and two other casements, while the ground floor has five windows arranged in an irregular pattern. There are two doors, one to the left and another to the right on the gable, both under tiled drip hoods. A pentice is present on the right end.

At the rear, which was the old entrance front, there is a sandstone rubble plinth at the centre and a bellcast over the ground floor. A gabled two-storey porch is located to the right of the centre, featuring one three-light window on the first floor above a doorway that is now blocked with a window. There is also a later 19th-century gabled extension at the left corner.

Inside, the house has an original lobby entry and features stop-chamfered spine beams on scrolled corbels, along with a deep brick fireplace in the ground floor rooms. The hall preserves the old external wall, showcasing upright moulded jambs of an oriel window on the first floor, with close studding below.
