Northway Farmhouse

Northway Farmhouse is a farmhouse, originally a longhouse, dating from the 17th century or earlier. It has been altered and extended over time, with rear lean-tos added and a further addition to the left end of the front wall. The farmhouse is constructed of granite rubble with a slate roof. Chimneystacks are present on each gable; a small 19th-century or later stone stack is on the left, and a rendered stack with thatch weatherings is on the right. There’s also a large rendered stack in the rear wall, which formerly heated the hall. The original plan included a hall and an inner room to the right, and a shippon (now converted and divided into an entrance hall and kitchen) to the left. There were opposing front and back doors at the right-hand end of the former shippon. The front has two storeys and four windows. All windows are 20th-century small-paned wood casements. A stone porch with a pent roof covers the front door. There's another door in the centre of the former shippon, and a former loft doorway above has been converted into a window. Inside, visible features are limited. The hall fireplace is blocked, but the butt-end of a heavy wood lintel is visible. The inner room has a large fireplace with a plain granite lintel. A blocked ventilation slit is located in the front wall of the former shippon. The roof trusses date from the late 19th or early 20th century.
