Description
Crag House and the adjoining barn are a farmhouse and barn dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. The farmhouse is built of painted rubble, while the barn remains unpainted, both featuring a graduated greenslate roof with cement rendered chimney stacks. The building stands two storeys high and has four bays, with the barn located to the left under a common roof. There is a 20th-century door set within a gabled stone porch. The three left bays of the farmhouse have Yorkshire sash windows, with those on the ground floor set in enlarged openings, all featuring plain reveals. The remaining windows are also sashes in plain reveals, with the ground floor window being a smaller firewindow. The barn includes a large cart entrance with double plank doors, a half plank door to the left, and a loft doorway above.
