Postgate Farmhouse And Attached Outbuildings

Postgate Farmhouse and attached outbuildings are a farmhouse and associated agricultural buildings, dated 1784 on a keystone with the initials "T & A B." The buildings are constructed of coursed, herringbone-tooled sandstone with a pantiled roof, stone ridge, stacks, copings, and kneelers. The rear outbuilding has purple slates.

The main farmhouse is two storeys and originally comprised eight bays, though it is now slightly irregular due to three distinct building phases, including a hearth-passage plan. The main entrance, a 20th-century half-glazed door, is located to the right of a two-bay section and is recessed under a lintel with a round arch featuring cut voussoirs and a dated keystone. A modern casement window is to the right of the door, with two late 19th-century sash windows above. The extreme right section features two 20th-century pivoted casement windows. A plinth runs along the front of the house. To the left of the main door is a small fire window, followed by a ground-floor 3-light Yorkshire sash window under an extended lintel with a tooled-and-margined stepped keystone; above it, a paired sash window with glazing bars under a similar lintel. An outbuilding extends to the left, built in a similar style but of a different phase. This outbuilding features three stable doors and vent slits. There are three stepped and corniced chimneys located at the ends of the house and behind the entrance passage. Gable copings have square kneelers.

A short rear span, primarily an outbuilding, has a tripartite sash window (with a central opening section) and a small square opening to the right of a first-floor door accessible by stone steps. A central, gabled stair extension has a window with a decorative lintel and keystone, similar to those on the front of the main house.

The interior was not inspected, but records show a stone fireplace with a corniced and dentilled shelf, and a heck partition. A witch-post, dated 1664, was formerly located at the end of the heck.
