Dunthwaite And Barn Adjoining

Dunthwaite and the adjoining barn are a house and barn built in 1785. The building features roughcast walls with an eaves cornice and angle pilasters, topped with a graduated greenslate roof and brick chimney stacks. It is two storeys tall, with four bays and a barn on the right side under a common roof. The house has a 19th-century glazed and panelled door, accessed by steps, within a stone pedimented surround. Sash windows with glazing bars are set in stone surrounds. The barn has a plain front wall, with a plank door and a loft door above on the right return wall. The rear of the barn features plank doors and vented windows. An interior plaque notes that this house and estate were devised to the National Trust by the Reverend Daniel Harrison, who lived here from 1696 and rebuilt the house in 1785. Inside, there are panelled doors and panelled window shutters, along with 19th-century cast iron fireplaces. The ground-floor rooms have 19th-century moulded plaster ceilings.
