Description

Kirk Syke Farmhouse and attached barn is a farmhouse dating from around 1800, with an attached barn from the late 17th century. The building is rendered and has a slate roof. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has three bays, with the first two featuring recessed flat-faced mullion windows. Between these windows is a plain doorway. The third bay has modern cemented windows, all of which are three lights. The barn is characterized by large quoins and a catslide roof over its orchard and outshut. Above a small opening in the barn is a lintel that has likely been reset, with a carving that reads S W:0:I:6:9:E. Inside the farmhouse, the left-hand room features beams with birds beak chamfers, suggesting that this part of the building may be older than its exterior appearance.
