Lidwell Farmhouse

Lidwell Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 17th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of roughly coursed slate-stone with granite quoins and has a graded slate roof. The building has an L-plan layout, featuring a main range of three units in a baffle-entry style, with a gabled range at the rear on the right. It stands two storeys tall with a slightly irregular three-window front. The windows are glazing bar sashes, all with 16 panes, except for the centre window on the first floor, which is horned and has a three-light 19th-century casement window to the lower right. The ground-floor windows have cambered yellow brick heads.

The central entrance features a two-panel nail-studded door with fleur-de-lys pointed strap hinges, set in a moulded wood surround with a yellow brick wedged head, and is sheltered by an open lean-to porch supported by monolithic granite columns. There is an integral end stack to the right and a ridge stack immediately to the left of the entrance, both with dripstones. The left gable end has slate pigeon nesting ledges, while the right gable end features a two-light chamfered flat-faced mullion window on the ground floor.

The gabled range at the rear includes a reused late 16th-century four-centred granite doorway on the right side, complete with moulded jambs, hollow spandrels, and a keystone. There are also single-storey and two-storey lean-tos attached to the right side. The left side and back wall of the main range have two-light mullion windows made from 17th-century stonework that was relocated in the late 20th century.

Inside, the building has been significantly altered in the mid to late 20th century but still retains moulded cross beams in the left ground-floor room of the main range.
