Harwood'S House

Harwood’s House is a detached house dating from the late 17th century, with early 18th, 19th, and 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone, with the 18th-century section using finer dressings than the 17th-century core. The roof is stone slate, with ashlar stacks, and a 20th-century extension which is not considered to be of special interest. The building has an ‘L’ shape, with a 17th-century core at the right end of the facade, and an early 18th-century extension added to the left gable end. Later 19th and 20th-century extensions are located at the rear gable.

The facade has four windows, representing the 17th-century core, two storeys and a garret. The early 18th-century extension incorporates two storeys and an attic, lit by two 20th-century roof dormers. Other windows are 2, 3, and 4-light, double-chamfered stone mullioned casements with stopped hoods. A 20th-century plank door with decorative hinges is positioned off-centre to the right, under a gabled portico supported by two tapering square limestone columns with moulded caps.

The 18th-century section features saddleback gable-end coping and a twin stack at the left gable end, while the 17th-century section has roll-moulded gable-end coping and a single stack at the right gable end. A twin stack is located at the rear of the 17th-century core. Pigeon holes are visible in the rear wall of the 18th-century section. The interior has not been inspected.
