Description
Rossett Farmhouse, dating from the 17th century, is a low two-storey building located in Great Langdale. It is constructed of white-washed stone rubble and features a slate roof. The farmhouse has a gabled open porch and three new windows on each floor, which are irregularly spaced and contain small panes. The building has long, low proportions. Attached to the farmhouse is a barn that has three bays of crucks, which is likely older than the house itself.
