Hollin Root Old House

Hollin Root Old House is a former dwelling that has been converted into a farm outbuilding. It dates from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with alterations and additions from the 19th century and some refurbishment in the 20th century. The building is constructed from uncoursed rubble sandstone without dressings and features a single circular gable stack, which is a 20th-century addition, along with a Westmorland slate roof laid to diminishing courses. The layout follows a two-cell end lobby entrance plan.

On the south elevation, the building is a single storey with two bays. It has a single doorway at the west end, a central window with six fixed panes, and to the right, a single-light window in a partially infilled wider opening. The north gable includes a wide doorway with a planked door to the right, set beneath a rough lintel. There is also a doorway leading to an added rear outbuilding, which is set back from the gable line.

Inside, there is an entry baffle wall to the left of the gable doorway that supports a massive cambered hearth beam, which defines a wide hearth in the end wall. Additionally, inserted sawn 19th-century tie beams rest on an interior masonry partition wall that separates the heated room from a service passage to the side.
