Valley Farm

Valley Farm is an early to mid-19th century former farmhouse, likely built after 1839, and enlarged in the late 19th century. The farmhouse is constructed of stone, rendered externally, with a slate roof, tarred in places. The main range has a hipped roof at the right-hand end and a gabled end to the left, with a brick stack. A wing is attached to the rear with a hipped roof, and a brick stack is located at the junction of the two ranges. The building is arranged in an L-shape, forming a rectangular plan.

The south-western and south-eastern facades are symmetrical, with three and two windows respectively. All windows feature barred sashes within recessed box frames, with the exception of a 20th-century replacement window on the ground floor of the south-east front. Many of the window panes are original Crown glass. The central doorway on the south-west front has a six-panelled door with the two lower panels flush, and a rectangular fanlight with patterned glazing-bars, sheltered by a wide, flat hood supported by shaped brackets. Both frontages have bracketed eaves cornices.

The front door opens into a stair hall with a floor of local marble. There are two six-panelled doors. A dog-leg staircase has a closed string, oblong-section balusters, and turned newels. A front room on the right-hand side has a wooden chimney-piece with panelled pilasters and a dentilled cornice. The roof trusses include notched apexes and vertical struts from the tie-beams halved onto the principal rafters. The farmhouse was formerly known as Parsonage Farm.
