Description

Crag View Low Garth is a farmhouse that has been divided into two dwellings. It dates from the late 18th century and incorporates part of an earlier house, which is dated 1746 over the rear entrance, with early 19th-century additions. The building features painted rubble walls, a modillioned cornice, and angle pilasters on a chamfered plinth, all beneath a graduated greenslate roof with stone chimney stacks.

The structure is two storeys high and has three bays, with lower single-bay wings on either side; the left wing is now known as Crag View. The main entrance has a six-panel door topped by a radial fanlight in a Tuscan doorcase. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, although the ones in the left wing are missing, and all are set in painted stone surrounds. At the rear, there is a plank door in a shouldered architrave, a three-light flat stone-mullioned window, and a blocked two-light window. Additionally, there is a 19th-century round-headed staircase window featuring radial glazing bars.
