Description
Bishopspot is a farmhouse that has been converted into a private house. It is dated and inscribed over the former barn entrance with "J.G. 1746" and also over the house entrance with "J. & D.G. 1747," referring to Joseph and Dina Grisenthwaite. The building features mixed rubble and cobbles beneath a graduated local slate roof, with a rebuilt stone chimney stack. It is two storeys high and has three bays, with a former barn of two bays to the right under a common roof.
The main entrance has a boarded door set in a chamfered surround with a shaped lintel inscription. The windows are 20th-century casements within original chamfered surrounds. There are fire windows on both floors to the left; the upper floor window has a reused inverted lintel inscribed "RR 161..." with another fragment of the same inscription below. The former barn entrance has a chamfered surround and a blocked slit vent above. Flanking windows are 20th-century in cement surrounds, chamfered to match the existing windows. There is one small chamfered-surround window at the rear and additional 20th-century windows. The left gable wall has been rebuilt.
Inside, the house features an inglenook with a firebeam and a heck partition, as well as a beamed ceiling. The building was derelict for many years before being restored in the late 1970s.
