Description

Burblethwaite is a farmhouse and adjoining barn, dated and inscribed over the barn entrance with "J.A.S. 1694" and featuring alterations and additions dated over the rear entrance to the house with "J.S.S. 1732." The house has a pebble-dashed front over limestone rubble walls and a Welsh slate roof with 20th-century brick chimney stacks. It is two storeys high and has three bays, with the barn located to the right under a common roof. The farmhouse features a plank door set in a bolection architrave beneath a pulvinated frieze and cornice. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, are framed in painted chamfered stone surrounds. The barn includes a rear entrance with a dated lintel and retains the remains of a two-light stone-mullioned window to the right.
