Raw Farmhouse And Outbuilding Attached

Raw Farmhouse and attached outbuilding is a farmhouse of longhouse type, dating from around 1700. It is constructed of large coursed tooled sandstone and features a pantile roof with stone ridge, copings, kneelers, and stacks. The building has a through-passage plan with a small parlour and dairy beyond the house-place. The entrance includes a wide boarded door with a small glazed panel, set under a chamfered heavy lintel, with widened jambs. The farmhouse is 1½ storeys high and has two wide bays to the right of the door. The ground floor has three and two-light casements in the houseplace and parlour, which have recently replaced the original stone-mullioned windows, as well as a left fire window, all with chamfered openings. Above, there is a stair window positioned between the two lower windows and a low 6-pane sash under the eaves above the left window. The main stack is located at the left, with a smaller stack at the right end.

To the left of the passage is a long barn/byre that features a stable door on the right and two loading openings above. Some refurbishment has been done at the eaves level. The left bay, which was added in the 18th century, has stone gable coping and a block kneeler. The rear elevation of the house is concealed by a later lean-to, while the rear of the outbuilding shows three stable doors and a pattern of slit vents. An extension includes a segment-arched cart entrance.

Inside, the through-passage retains the two original doorways leading to the house and barn, and there is a heck partition with an integral settle. The house features roughly-chamfered large beams, and there is a blocked mullioned rear window inside the later lean-to. The dairy is located at the rear of the small parlour, which has its inner front corner partitioned off to accommodate a small wood winder stair. The later pebbledashed pent rear extension is not of special interest.
