Lintridge Farmhouse

Lintridge Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with significant alterations in the 18th and early 19th centuries, and minor changes in the mid-20th century. The construction is primarily of Flemish-bond brickwork, with a heading bond to the bows; the rear is rough render, revealing timber-framing inside. The roof is slate, with low tiled wings. The building is three bays wide and three storeys high at the front, with a catslide roof leading to a lower two-storey rear section, two rooms deep. A single-storey wing is attached to the left, and a two-storey wing is set back on the right.

The front of the house features a mid-20th century hipped porch in the centre, built on a brick base and with half-glazed panels. A plinth runs along the front, with a set-back area either side of the centre before semi-circular, full-height bows. Each bow contains three sash windows with stone sills and flat, rubbed-brick arches. The sashes on the ground floor to the left are curved, while the others are straight. The first floor has two sashes in the centre, within a rendered surround, set off-centre, with blind windows on either side. The remaining first-floor windows are sashes, fronting the bows, with the same design. The second floor mirrors the arrangement below, with six-pane sashes in the bows and a similar sash in the centre. A plain parapet sits above, sweeping up to projecting chimneys at each gable end. To the left, a single-storey hipped wing contains a late 20th century garage door. To the right, a low two-storey wing is set back, with a blocked door and a semi-circular, rubbed-brick arch on the left, and a late 20th century casement with a cambered, rubbed brick arch on the right. Above are two four-pane casements to the left and a three-light casement with a flat head to the right. Dentil eaves run along the roof, with a hipped end. A single-storey extension to the right partially obscures a projecting brick chimney, and incorporates a 20th-century casement.

Inside, there are four-fielded panel doors on the front centre of the ground and first floors, with one two-panel door with L hinges. Exposed timber framing is visible at the rear, originally with close studding on the left gable. Decorative diagonal struts are present to the left gable, and the first floor is exposed. The right wing has large jowls to the corner posts, a tie beam truss, and V-struts above the collar. The roof of the three-storey section retains two original trusses, with cruck-like braces to the principals. The original staircase to the second floor has turned balusters and a moulded handrail. A cellar is located under the left half of the front, cut into solid rock. The original house was a T-shaped timber-framed building of two storeys. A three-storey hipped brick front was added at an angle in the early 18th century, followed by the addition of bows, and the raising of the eaves with gables and a catslide roof over the rear wing in the early 19th century.
