Seat Farmhouse, Cottage And Attached Barn

Seat Farmhouse, a cottage, and an attached barn, likely date from the late 17th or early 18th century, as evidenced by lintels inscribed with the years 1662 and 1779. The building is constructed of stone rubble, with the main house portion limewashed, and has slate roofs. It is arranged in an L-shape, with a connecting outbuilding at an angle linking the houses and barn. The west-facing elevation is two storeys and three plus two bays, with the fourth and fifth bays forming a cottage that was originally an outbuilding. Windows are mostly sash windows with single glazing bars within chamfered reveals, although the third bay of the ground floor has a 20th-century casement and the first bay of the first floor has a paired sash window. The entrance to the second bay has a key-inscribed lintel dated “E ' MT/1779”, with a boarded door. The cottage incorporates a large glazed entrance and two casements above, along with a stepped entrance leading to a lower ground level. A gable-end stack and a cross-axial stack are present. The outbuilding features a canted-forward design, with an elliptical arched entrance and flanking windows. The north elevation of the barn has a central elliptical-headed entrance with a key inscription “W & AS/1731,” along with end entrances and inserted windows. Ventilation slots are present, and the roof structure incorporates collar and tie beams to the trusses. The east elevation has a continuous outshut under a catslide roof. Fenestration is varied, including a two-light single-chamfered-mullioned stair window and two windows with small-paned fixed glazing. A small wing to the east, consisting of a gabled outbuilding, is now connected to the house and features a dated lintel from 1662.
