Hoathwaite Farmhouse And Outbuildings

Hoathwaite Farmhouse and outbuildings is a farmhouse and associated structures dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with some 19th-century alterations. The cowhouse is from the mid-18th century, and the barn dates from the early to mid-19th century. The buildings are constructed of stone rubble, with the farmhouse being roughcast and featuring slate roofs.

The farmhouse is L-shaped, with two storeys and a three-bay south facade that includes a three-bay lower rear wing. The south facade has a gutter supported by scrolly brackets. The windows are sashed, featuring vertical glazing bars and horns. The entrance boasts a six-panel door beneath a gabled slate hood. Gable-end stacks are present, and the west facade displays a deep slate dripcourse over the first floor, along with additional dripcourses on the ground floor of the wing and the gable.

The wing has small-paned glazing on the ground floor, while the first floor features casement windows. The gable end includes a small-paned casement and two blocked attic windows. The wing's central entrance is also topped with a gabled slate hood, and there is a gable-end stack. The rear of the farmhouse has a wooden mullioned window with two round-headed lights and a three-light wooden chamfered-mullioned window that includes intermediate bars and leaded glazing.

A small stable is located at the north gable end, featuring an entrance, a window, and a first-floor loading door. The cowhouse to the east of the stable has seven tie beam and strut trusses, with various entrances and windows, two pitching holes, and ventilation slots. The barn, situated to the east of the cowhouse, has a three-bay east elevation with pivoted doors in the cheeks and triangular owl holes in the gable ends. A pig sty at the south gable end has a single pitch roof and enclosure.

There is also an 18th-century privy with a gabled roof, which has an entrance and window on the south side, adjacent to a 20th-century lean-to shed to the south of the cowhouse. The interior of the farmhouse contains many 17th and 18th-century fittings, including two upper cruck trusses in each wing, two-panel doors, some panelling, and two spice cupboards, one of which is dated "AIM 1704." The house features a closed well staircase, wide floorboards on the first floor, and stud and plaster partitions. One window includes pivoted internal shutters. The property is owned by the National Trust, which has compiled a survey report.
