Calder Farmhouse and attached cottages

Calder Farmhouse and the attached former cottages, now a farm building, date from 1888, as indicated by the date above the door in a moulded panel reading "A 17 RR 88" for Althea and Robert Roddam. The structure is built of random rubble with dressed stone used for the window and door surrounds, and it features Welsh and local slate roofs. The farmhouse is two storeys high and consists of three bays with a central doorway, while the four cottages are arranged at right angles, forming an L shape.

On the ground floor, the building has sash windows, some of which are 12-pane and others are sliding sashes, with several having been renewed. The doors and ground floor windows feature alternating jambs with horizontal tooling. The first floor of the farmhouse includes Victorian dormers that break the eaves and partly occupy the openings of smaller, earlier windows, the surrounds of which remain in part. Similar alterations are present on the upper floor of the cottages. The staircases throughout are mid-19th century insertions. Inside, there are large fireplaces with chamfered segmental-arched lintels. It is likely that all the cottages were originally single-storey with granaries above, and the end cottage still retains this form. Admiral Robert Roddam (1720 – 1808) married Althea Calder in 1775.
