Description
Applethwaite Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid or late 17th century. It features whitewashed roughcast walls and is topped with a graduated greenslate roof, which has roughcast chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with a two-bay rear extension to the left. The original plank door, complete with 17th-century hinges and wooden studs, is set within a large open slated stone porch that also covers the right window and a small fuel store. The windows are Yorkshire sash style, set in plain reveals. Inside, the farmhouse has beamed ceilings, and there is a blocked firewindow in the ground-floor room on the right, which has been converted into a recess. The adjoining barn is not of interest.
