Description
Homestead Farmhouse and Homestead Cottage is a 18th-century building that consists of a farmhouse and a cottage under a single roof. It is constructed from regularly coursed gritstone blocks and features projecting quoins, coved eaves, coped gables, and moulded kneelers. The building has end and intermediate ridge stacks and a Welsh slate roof. It stands two storeys high with attics and has an irregular elevation that includes single and two-light window openings, which have projecting stone frames and flat mullions, mostly fitted with 20th-century frames. There is a blocked window on the ground floor at the west end and a quoined opening on the first floor at the east end, which is now partially blocked to form a window. Additionally, there are two quoined door surrounds with massive lintels, one of which at the east end has a stone segmental hood.
