Description

Eccles House Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1814. It is constructed from coursed ashlar and gritstone with gritstone dressings, topped with Welsh slate roofs featuring stone gable end stacks and a stone eaves stack. The building has two storeys and a double range plan.

The south elevation has three bays, faced with ashlar and accented by angle quoins. There is a central doorway with a bracketed stone hood, leading to a raised and fielded panelled door with a glazed overlight. On either side of the doorway are glazing bar sash windows set in raised stone surrounds, with three similar windows located above. The north elevation features a doorway with a lintel inscribed with the date 1814.

To the right of this doorway is a two-light square section flush mullion window, with the lintel inscribed "DAIRY ROOM." Above it is a similar window that is missing its lintel, with the sill inscribed "CHEESE ROOM." These inscriptions were made to avoid paying window tax. The east elevation has two large four-light square section flush mullion windows.
