Description
Ormathwaite Hall Farmhouse and the adjoining barns date from 1769, as indicated by a sundial on one of the barns. The buildings have been altered in the early 20th century. They feature painted roughcast walls and are topped with a graduated greenslate roof, which includes 20th-century roughcast chimney stacks. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has five bays, with the barns adjoining at right angles to form an overall U-shape. There is a 20th-century door in a plain opening beneath a 20th-century gabled bracketed porch. The windows are 20th-century sash windows set in plain reveals. The barns have large plank doors and slit vents on two levels, with the left barn featuring a hexagonal sundial finial.
