Description
Windyridge is a farmhouse that has been divided into two private houses, dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century. The building is constructed of painted and rendered slate stone rubble, topped with a regular slate roof featuring gable ends and raised eaves. On the left gable end, there is a projecting stone rubble stack with a cloam oven projection, as well as a projecting rear lateral stack with a cloam oven projection and slate pot. The right gable end has a truncated stone rubble stack.
The original plan of the farmhouse may have included two rooms and a cross passage, with the smaller left room heated by the gable end stack and the larger right room heated by the rear lateral stack. There may have been a small unheated inner room, but any partition has since been removed. The stack on the right gable end was likely intended to heat a chamber on the first floor. A circa 19th-century lean-to outshot is present on the right gable end.
The building has two storeys and features an asymmetrical three-window front. The ground floor includes a 19th-century two-light casement window on the left, a part-glazed 20th-century door, a three-light casement, and a 20th-century door to the right, along with a 20th-century window nearby. The first floor has three 20th-century two-light casements. There is also a single-storey lean-to outshot on the right gable end.
Inside, the layout has been partly remodelled, and many ceiling beams have been renewed. The fireplace in the left room has a renewed timber lintel, while the right room features a 20th-century grate. The first floor was not inspected. A photograph of the house from the late 19th century or early 20th century shows an earlier roof line with three half-dormer windows on the first floor, raking roofs, and a line of pigeon holes below the eaves.
