Markwick Farm House

Markwick Farm House is a timber-framed hall house dating from the early 16th century, with extensions added in the 17th century and further additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. The exterior is largely clad with large sandstone blocks, punctuated with ironstone galleting and brick dressings. Tile hangs the gables, and the roof is tiled, featuring a hipped section and a gablet on the right side. The house has two storeys on the left, and one storey with an attic to the right. A stack is located at the left end, while a corbelled 17th-century stack is at the rear right. The left-hand gabled bay has a cambered-head, leaded casement window on each floor, with a five-light, diamond-pane leaded casement on the first floor. A gabled attic dormer sits above the centre of the right-hand section, overlooking two three-light ground-floor windows, each with a cambered head. A former door, originally leading to a cross passage, has been blocked. A new door is positioned to the left of the centre, flanked by a two-light, diamond-pane, leaded casement window protected by a gabled hood on wooden supports. A single-storey, half-hipped range projects forward to the right. The rear elevation features three gabled dormers above a pentice verandah supported on braced posts.
