Bottom Farm

Bottom Farm is a farmhouse dating from the mid-18th century, which incorporates an earlier core and features later additions and alterations. The building is constructed of coursed rubble limestone with gritstone dressings, and it has quoins, plain gables, and stone slate and concrete tile roofs, along with west gable and intermediate ridge stone stacks. The plan is irregular, originally designed with a central baffle entry, but now the doorway is located in a later gabled range to the east.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has two bays; it was formerly three bays, but the west end bay has been reduced in height and now has a lean-to roof. This reduced elevation includes a former two-light flush mullioned window, which has had its mullion removed. The former central doorway features a plain surround and a 19th-century half-glazed door with margin lights. The bay to the east of the doorway retains two- and three-light openings, the latter equipped with flush mullions and all having 19th-century glazing bar casements. The 19th-century gabled range has three stone-framed windows, all fitted with 20th-century joinery.

Inside, the 18th-century range retains a timber baffle at the entry, an 18th-century hearth with a bressumer, and a stop-chamfered spine beam with run-out stops. Incorporated into the hearth wall is a single cruck truss.
