Description

Askham Hall Farmhouse and the adjoining barns and stables date from the mid-18th century. The buildings feature painted rendered walls and are topped with graduated greenslate roofs, which include roughcast chimney stacks. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has two bays, with a two-bay barn on the right that shares a common roof and a lower L-shaped barn and stables on the left.

The house has a central 20th-century door and sash windows with glazing bars, all set in painted stone surrounds. There is an additional ground floor window on the right in a plain reveal and a left upper floor casement window also in a painted stone surround. The right barn includes a left segmental-arched cart entrance and a small loft opening, along with a right pent extension that has a small loft opening. The left barn-stables features a central plank door and casement windows on the right, as well as a left projecting cart doorway in the re-entrant angle. The gable wall facing the road has a plank door and a small casement window. Part of the right barn is used for domestic purposes and is connected to the adjoining house, Low Side.
