Lanow Farmhouse (East)

A farmhouse, likely dating to the late 16th or early 17th century, and possibly with earlier origins. It is constructed of stone rubble and cob, with a slate roof featuring a gable end on the left, a hipped end on the right, and a gable end to the rear wing on the right. An adjoining store is situated on the left-hand gable end, with a hipped end and a rear right-hand gable end, with outbuildings attached which are not part of the listing. A lower rear wing extends from the left, covered with scantle slate and possessing a gable end. The farmhouse features several brick stacks: one axial, originally heating the left-hand room; another axial heating the central room of the front range; a front lateral stack on the right; a gable-end stack on the rear right-hand wing; and a projecting stone rubble side lateral stack serving the rear left-hand wing.

The interior was remodeled during the 19th and 20th centuries, obscuring original features. The circa late 16th century front range originally comprised three rooms and a through passage. The left-hand room was heated by a gable end stack, the central room likely served as the hall and was heated by an axial stack, and the inner room by a front lateral stack. A contemporary wing to the rear of the right-hand room was heated by a gable end stack. A further wing, to the rear of the through passage, contains a single room heated by a projecting side lateral stack; this wing may be contemporary or even earlier, perhaps becoming a kitchen wing in the late 16th or early 17th century. A stair projection, housing a 19th-century staircase, is positioned between this kitchen wing and the rear right-hand wing, behind the original hall.

The farmhouse is two stories high and has an asymmetrical 1:3 window front. The left-hand store has a 19th-century 2-light casement on the ground floor and a 20th-century window above. The main range features windows arranged to the left of a front lateral brick chimney stack; it includes a 20th-century window on the left, a part-glazed door, and a 19th-century 16-pane horned sash on the right. The first floor has two hornless 16-pane sashes and a horned 16-pane sash on the right. The side elevation on the main range includes two plank doors flanking a 19th-century hornless 16-pane sash, with three further 16-pane sashes above and two rows of pigeon holes below the eaves. The rear wing on the left retains the remains of a 2-light mullion window, forming a hall bay projection to the left of the side lateral stack.

The roof structure in the main range dates to the late 16th century, featuring four raised cruck trusses, morticed at the apices and carrying a diagonal set ridge. Collars are present, with curved dovetailed and notched lap-joints. Four trusses above the contemporary rear right-hand wing were repaired around the mid-20th century. The roof structure above the rear kitchen wing is inaccessible.
