Middlewood Farmhouse

Middlewood Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1739, as indicated by a stone panel above the door. It is constructed from lightly tooled-and-margined sandstone of near-ashlar quality, resting on a coursed, herringbone-tooled plinth. The roof is pantiled with a stone ridge, copings, kneelers, and stacks. The building has two storeys and a basement, with three slightly irregular bays and a one-bay extension, likely from the early 19th century.

Access to the farmhouse is via five steps leading to a modern door set in a moulded surround with a pseudo-3-centred arch. There are traces of an ogee-gabled porch that has since been removed. The basement features a modern window inserted to the right of the door, along with a boarded basement door. To the left of the door, there are two small chamfered basement openings. On the main floors, there are two 12-pane sash windows on the left, framed in wood architraves with cyma-moulded stone reveals and projecting cills, and a single similar window on each floor to the right.

The extension, which may have replaced an earlier down-house, has a boarded door and similar windows in plain reveals, with cills that are vertically tooled and margined. The main house has cornice-banded end stacks, while the extension features a brick end stack. The rear elevation has scattered small sash windows, and there is a modern lean-to on the extension that is not of interest.
