Description

Turnip House and the attached byre are a farmhouse and byre built under one roof around 1700, with alterations made in the late 18th century. The structure is made of rubble set on a boulder plinth and features a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and consists of two bays with quoins. The openings are framed with ashlar surrounds, including a central 20th-century part-glazed door with splayed bases on the jambs. There are sash windows and end stacks. At the rear, there is an outshut for the stairs that has mullioned windows. The byre on the left projects slightly forward as an outshut and features an old board 2-panel door in an ashlar surround with diagonal tooling and interrupted jambs, similar to the doorway of the outshut. The building is adorned with shaped kneelers and copings throughout.
