Blackburn House

Blackburn House is a house dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed from coursed squared gritstone and features a graduated stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and three bays, with quoins at the corners.

To the left of the centre, there are 20th-century board doors set within a chamfered quoined surround, topped by a restored triangular-headed lintel in square chamfer. The house has recessed chamfered mullion windows throughout, with two-light windows (the mullion is missing) to the left and three-light windows to the right of the entrance, all beneath a continuous dripmould. On the first floor to the left, there is a three-light window that has been rebuilt from 17th-century masonry, while the central and right-hand two-light windows are designed in a 17th-century style. The building features corniced end stacks.

The proportions and likely direct-entry plan with end stacks suggest that the mid-18th-century alterations raised the eaves, as indicated by the change in the quoins just above the first-floor sill level. The original 17th-century structure likely had lower eaves and a lobby-entry plan at the right gable. The interior was not inspected during the resurvey.
