Description
Boonbeck Farmhouse and the adjoining barn date back to 1733, as indicated by the inscription over the entrance. The farmhouse features a roughcast exterior over slate rubble, which is partly whitewashed, and has graduated greenslate roofs with cement rendered chimney stacks. It is two storeys high and consists of two bays with a double span, while the barn is lower and right-angled to the front. The entrance includes a top-glazed plank door set in a painted stone surround with an inscribed lintel. The farmhouse has sash windows with glazing bars, also in painted stone surrounds. The barn features large double plank doors beneath a wooden lintel, a left plank door under another wooden lintel, a small ground-floor opening, and two upper-floor openings that now contain pigeon holes. The left detached barn is not of interest.
