Laburnum Farmhouse

Laburnum Farmhouse is a small farmhouse that was formerly part of the Fallapit estate, dating from the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed of slate rubble with red brick dressings and features a slate hipped roof with black ridge tiles and deep eaves that have exposed rafter ends. The building has side and rear lateral stacks with rendered shafts topped with turned red clay pots; the rear lateral stack has a pair of diagonally set shafts.

The farmhouse has an L-shaped plan, with two main rooms in the front range and a central entrance. The right-hand room is heated by a lateral stack at the back, while the left-hand room has an end stack that may also serve the two-storey wing behind it, unless it is an unheated room like a dairy. In the later 19th century, a small single-storey outbuilding was added at the rear in the angle.

The exterior is two storeys high and features a symmetrical two-window south front with a brick cogged string course at the first-floor level. The 19th-century two-light casements have glazing bars and are set in brick-dressed openings with slate sills, while the ground floor windows have segmental brick arches. The right-hand ground floor window has been altered in the 20th century. The central doorway has a glazed and panelled door, and there is a slate rubble gabled porch with a slate roof and a chamfered two-centred arch. At the rear, there is a two-storey hipped roof wing to the right with a doorway in the end wall, along with a small later brick single-storey extension on the left side. The interior has not been inspected.
