Haddon House Farmhouse With Attached Outbuildings And Gateways

Haddon House Farmhouse, along with its attached outbuildings and gateways, dates from around 1840 and the late 19th century. It is constructed from coursed dressed sandstone and rubble limestone, topped with Welsh slate roofs.

The building forms a U-shaped group, featuring a two-storey house with an attic and a four-window range. At the east end, there is a former stable that is one storey high with a loft, which has a three-window range. On the south side of the yard, there is a single-storey, four-bay outbuilding that connects to the house via a wall with an archway. The south-west corner of the yard has gate piers leading to a side entrance.

The house features raised quoins, and bay two has a segmental arch leading to the carriage house. To the right of this are two quoined stable doorways flanked by casement windows. The living accommodation is on the upper floors, with a doorway in bay one of the first floor accessed from a terrace. This doorway has a boarded door with an original decorative thumb-latch set in a dressed stone surround with a hoodmould. There are matching surrounds for one casement with horizontal glazing bars and two margin-glazed sashes. The roof includes two roof lights and two gabled, three-quarter dormers with margin-glazed sashes. The gable copings are roll-moulded and double-chamfered, and there is a corniced ashlar ridge stack along with a matching end stack on the right.

The former stable adjoining the house has a door with a three-pane overlight flanked by casements in bonded stone surrounds, and a central gable features a round-arched window with gable copings on the right.

On the opposite side of the yard, there is a late 19th-century block where bay one has a door to the right of a three-light casement. The remaining three bays have horizontally-sliding doors beneath a wall plate supported by two cast-iron columns. The gable copings are made of ashlar, and there is a square base for an octagonal-flue end stack on the left. At the west end of this building, there are gate piers, although the opening has been infilled by sheds.

The east end of the yard is enclosed by a tall dressed sandstone wall with double gates beneath a chamfered, pointed arch. The roll-moulded double-chamfered copings step up to a gable above the porch.

The interior has not been inspected. This building is included for its group value with Haddon House.
