Description
Booth's Farmhouse is a former farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 16th century, with some remodelling in the 17th century and alterations made in the 20th century. The building is constructed of coursed rubble gritstone and features quoins, coped gables, and moulded kneelers. It has intermediate and end ridge stacks with moulded caps, and the roofs are covered with stone slates.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and consists of five bays, with a 17th-century addition at the southeast end. Originally, it had two-light recessed chamfered mullioned windows, but these have been replaced with 20th-century casements that include glazing bars within the old surrounds. Two ground floor openings have been deepened to create doorways, which feature continuous dripmoulding above the window heads that transitions into stepped hoodmoulds over the paired doorways. These doorways have massive Tudor-arched heads and chamfered surrounds at the southeast ends, with two 20th-century doors—one planked and one glazed. The doorways have been inserted across the line of earlier quoining. A shallow two-light recessed chamfered mullioned window remains in the stair wing at the rear.
Inside, the farmhouse retains exposed ceiling beams and two contemporary hearths. One hearth features a massive lintel that bears a coat of arms, while the other has a shallow moulded stone mantle.
