Description

Raper's Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a field centre. It dates from the late 18th century and has a late 19th-century extension along with other later alterations. The building is made of tooled sandstone and features a corrugated-iron roof with rendered stacks. It has a central staircase plan and is one room deep, which was extended to double depth in the late 19th century.

The front of the farmhouse has two low storeys with two windows. There is a central 20th-century board door located beneath a tripartite keyed lintel. To the left of the door is a three-light, small-pane horizontal sliding sash window, which also has a similar lintel. To the right, there is a 20th-century replacement window beneath a timber lintel. The first-floor windows consist of horizontal sliding sashes, with three small-paned lights on the left and two large-paned lights on the right. The building features a stepped eaves course and end stacks.

Inside, the ground-floor room to the right has a rebuilt fireplace that includes a segment-arched grooved lintel with a keystone. The late 19th-century extension at the rear is not considered of special interest.
