Blindbeck Farmhouse and Cottage

Blindbeck Farmhouse and Cottage is a farmhouse and cottage dating from the late 17th century, with alterations from the 18th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of slobbered coursed rubble with stone dressings and a stone slate roof, featuring a lobby entry plan. It has two storeys and four bays.

The left of the centre features an early 18th-century gabled porch with a chamfered surround and a Tudor arched head, along with a small chamfered window in the gable. To the left, there is a ground floor two-light double chamfered mullioned window and a three-light double chamfered mullioned window with a hoodmould; on the upper floor, there is a three-light chamfered mullioned window. To the right, the ground floor has a three-light double chamfered mullioned window, now with flat-faced mullions, and the remains of a further blocked light; the upper floor also has a three-light double chamfered mullioned window.

The right-hand bay has been converted into a cottage, featuring a circa 1970 entrance porch with a lean-to roof that abuts the former three-light chamfered mullioned window, now reduced to two lights with only one mullion remaining. The windows include casements and fixed lights, and there is a three-light double chamfered mullioned window on the upper floor. The right-hand gable end has a massive left of centre ridge stack, and there is an 18th-century wing at the rear.

Inside, the front left-hand room contains a late 17th-century fireplace with a chamfered surround and a two-piece Tudor arched mantle. The front right-hand room features an early 18th-century fireplace with a cupboard inscribed SW 1659. On the upper floor, there is a re-set oak cupboard inscribed TH (Thomas Howson) 1697.
