Description

Luckesses Farmhouse is a farmhouse and stables dating from the 16th century, with alterations dated 1639 and extensions made in the late 19th century. The building features roughcast over rubble and slate roofs, with a higher independently hipped roof on the left and a large central roughcast stack at the junction of the different roof levels. The plan is thought to be a 3-cell layout that has been enlarged, partly rebuilt, and may have originally been a longhouse.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with a long 5-bay facade, primarily featuring 20th-century casement windows. There is a window on the left below the eaves, and the wall breaks forward for one bay, which includes a 3-light leaded iron casement with wooden boarding below the eaves. The end bay on the right has a 20th-century casement, while the ground floor on the right is unlit and features very shallow buttresses or a batter to the wall. There are two 3-light windows on the left, and a studded plank door accessed by two steps. In the recessed end bay, there is a half-glazed door with many panes, reached by three steps. It is said that there is a datestone reading '1639 June 14' on the rear wall. Adjacent to the left at right angles is a 19th-century 3-bay stable block with a loft above. The interior has not been seen.
