Farmbuildings And Walls To South West Of Airyholme Farmhouse

The farm buildings and walls located to the southwest of Airyholme Farmhouse date from the early to mid-18th century. The structures are made of roughly herringbone-tooled coursed sandstone and feature pantiled roofs with stone dressings. There are two sections: the left part is a single storey with two bays, featuring two boarded doors beneath plain lintels. The taller right part may also consist of two bays and has a stable door on the left beneath a broken lintel, while the rest of the façade is either blank or obscured by an added front building. The buildings have stone copings and square kneelers, with a loading door and owl holes in the right gable end, and an owl hole along with two pigeon holes in the left.

A wall with gabled coping and openings at both ends forms the southeast boundary of the garden. On the western side near the barn, there is a boarded door, and on the eastern side near the house, there is an iron gate. A similar wall, which ramps up near the house, encloses the opposite side and serves as the rear wall of a small outbuilding that has boarded doors on the north and west sides. A central wall with flat slab coping, which ramps up to about 8 feet, includes a low door near the barn and a gateway near the house. A cartshed is located to the north of the barn, along with a boarded building against the north wall and a rubble building with a concrete-tiled roof built against the taller part of the barn; these later additions are not of interest.
