Ling Garth

Ling Garth is a building that consists of two houses, now combined into one, dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, with later additions. The structure is made of rubble with a stone slate roof and stands two storeys high, with the two parts differing in height. The left-hand house features an outshut, while the right-hand house has a 20th-century outshut.

The façade includes three first-floor windows on the left side and two on the right. The left-hand house has a central doorway with quoined jambs, a triangular soffit to the lintel, and a panel dated 1665 above a 20th-century boarded door. To the left of the door is a fire window and the remains of a two-light mullioned window with a 12-pane casement. To the right, there is a square window with an ashlar surround and a four-pane casement. The first floor features four-pane casements set in ashlar surrounds, along with shaped kneelers, ashlar copings, and end stacks.

The right-hand house, which is of lesser height, also has a central doorway with quoined jambs and a 20th-century glazed door. To the right of this door are the remains of a two-light mullioned window. The other windows have sandstone lintels and sills, with four-pane casements on each floor to the left of the door and a sash window on the first floor to the right. This section also has shaped kneelers, ashlar coping, and an end stack to the right. Inside, traces of late 17th-century to mid-18th-century stencilled wall painting were discovered in one of the upstairs rooms in 1985.
