Description

Rowe Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1723, with alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. It features watershot limestone masonry with millstone grit dressings and a stone slate roof. The building has a two-cell plan and is double fronted with two storeys. The central entrance has a roll-moulded surround and a decorated lintel inscribed with "IL 1723," along with a dripstone and a 20th-century door. There are two chamfered windows with ovolo mullions on each storey: the ground floor has four lights, while the upper floor, which formerly had three lights, now has two lights each with one repositioned mullion, featuring casements and fixed lights. The gable end and a ridge stack are located to the right of the centre. At the rear, there is a 19th-century outshut that houses the staircase. Inside, the left-hand front room contains an 18th-century fireplace with a corbelled mantle and two massive spine beams.
