Description
Friar House Farmhouse is a mid-18th century farmhouse that was rebuilt from an earlier structure and raised and altered in 1836, as indicated by a datestone. The building is constructed of rubble sandstone and features a pantile roof. It has a three-cell, hearth-passage plan and is a low, two-storey structure with a two-window front. There is a one-storey wing on the left and a one-storey lean-to outbuilding on the right.
The front entrance includes a six-panel door with two glazed lights located at the right end of the wing, while there is an altered doorway at the left end with a partly shuttered window. Between the doorways, there is a small two-pane sash window set in a chamfered surround. Both doorways feature herringbone-tooled quoins and roughly tooled lintels. The two-storey section has a single fixed-light fire window at the left end and an inserted four-pane casement at the right end. There are also two 2-light 20th-century casements in vestigial quoined and chamfered surrounds between these windows.
The first-floor windows are unequal nine-pane sashes with stone sills. The building has raised eaves, coped gables, and block kneelers, along with end corniced stacks. The outbuilding features a plank door with square unglazed lights and a roughly tooled lintel, topped with a pent roof. At the rear, there is a cross-passage doorway in a quoined opening with a roughly tooled lintel inscribed with the initials "H T M" and the date "1836". The rear windows are 2-light horizontal sliding sashes with four-pane and six-pane lights. The interior has not been inspected but is reported to be unmodernised.
