Fold End Farmhouse And Adjoining Barns

Fold End Farmhouse and the adjoining barns date from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with some additions made in the late 18th century. The buildings feature mixed slate rubble walls with large flush slate quoins, and the farmhouse has roughcast cladding. The roof is made of graduated greenslate, hipped to the right, and includes slate chimney stacks. The farmhouse is two storeys high with three bays, and there is a lower two-bay extension at the rear right, along with an L-shaped barn to the left that shares a common roof. The farmhouse has 20th-century doors and windows set in plain reveals, with a smaller fire window on the ground floor to the right. The extension has similar windows. The barn features plank doors and loft doorways, as well as a large cart entrance. The farmhouse includes a rear studded plank door. Inside, there are beamed ceilings and a rear internal semicircular stone staircase. The property is mentioned in the Herries series of books by Sir Hugh Walpole.
