Kingston

The building is a farmhouse, likely dating from the late 17th century, with extensions added in the late 18th century and subsequent later alterations. It is constructed of roughly coursed slate-stone with quartzite blocks, partly rendered, and has a hipped slate roof. Originally a 2-bay house, it was extended to the left and right, indicated by a break and straight joint respectively. The house has two storeys. Windows are mainly 19th and 20th century casements, with five directly below the eaves; these are all of two lights, except for the fourth from the left, which has three. Similar windows, with segmental brick heads, are located to the right of the centre and far right on the ground floor. The entrance to the left bay of the original part has a half-glazed door with a rectangular barred overlight, sheltered by a 19th-century glazed porch. There are two plank doors to the left addition. A granite ridge stack with drips and a brown brick top marks the junction between the original part and the right addition. A full-length outshut is located to the rear, continued as a lean-to to the centre, with a small 19th-century gabled range projecting at right angles to the right. The interior was not inspected during a resurvey in December 1987, but is likely to be of interest.
