Scraperlow Farmhouse And Attached Outbuildings

Scraperlow Farmhouse and attached outbuildings are a farmhouse and outbuildings that were remodeled in the early 19th century, originally dating from the 18th century, to create a balanced facade. The structure is built from coursed rubble gritstone with ashlar dressings, featuring projecting quoins, plain gables, and end ridge stacks at the west end of the house. The roofs are covered with stone slates. The house and outbuilding are aligned, designed as a castellated central range with domestic ranges on either side.

The south elevation has two storeys and nine bays, with the three western bays forming the house section, which includes 2-light flush mullioned windows that have been replaced with 20th-century casements. A plain band course runs above the ground floor windows along the entire facade. The central doorway features a projecting quoined surround and a 20th-century half-glazed door. The three eastern bays of the outbuildings match the western bays precisely, but their openings have been blocked. There is a cart entrance on the east gable with a segmental arched head, and above it, a pitching eye is set in a square stone surround. The central three bays boast a high castellated parapet in front of a pitched roof, with cruciform embrasures in ashlar panels above three tall openings that have keyed semi-circular arches. The smaller flanking arches are filled with ashlar and include doorways, while the central arch remains open, featuring a lower, earlier segmental arch on the inner face of the opening.
