Description
Lukes House is a house from the early 17th century, constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and features four windows on the first floor. The ground floor includes a fixed-light paned window in a former doorway with a segmental-arched lintel, a fire-window, a two-light flat-faced mullion window, a four-panel door, and another two-light flat-faced mullion window. On the first floor, there is a small casement window and three two-light windows with chamfered mullions. Stacks are located between the first and second windows and at the right end of the building. Historical records indicate that the widow of Luke Thwaite owned this dwelling, along with a barn, stable, turf house, and adjoining garden, as noted in "The Manor of Wensleydale, 1614" by T S Willan and E W Crossley.
