Description
The property comprises a farmhouse, likely with an attached barn, situated in Sedbergh. The original farmhouse section dates to 1677, as indicated by a stone panel above the blocked doorway on the north wall. The present farmhouse may be contemporary but has undergone remodelling and alterations.
Constructed of mixed random rubble, the north side is roughcast, with a slate roof featuring stone slates in the lower courses and stone ridge and gable copings. The building has a single-depth, rectangular plan aligned east-west. The original farmhouse formed the shorter eastern portion, initially comprising probably two bays and facing south.
The north front of the original farmhouse section has three storeys and three windows. A blocked, slightly segmental-headed doorway is offset to the right, framed by a painted stone surround with a stone panel bearing the inscription "1677" above the lintel. To the left of the doorway is a small, blocked one-light window, and at ground floor, a slightly larger one-light window with a chamfered surround. An inserted doorway is positioned to the right, with three small round-headed one-light windows at the first floor, and a small, blocked square window near the eaves to the left. The roof features a broad stone chimney on the ridge where it joins the range to the right, another gable chimney to the left, and gable copings with kneeler stones. The longer range to the west has a broad gable porch offset to the left, a window to the left of the porch, and a doorway near the right-hand end flanked by two altered windows on each floor.
The south side of the original farmhouse retains traces of prior openings. In line with the ridge chimney, there is the left jamb and part of the lintel and hoodmould of a former opening at ground floor, likely a doorway or fire-window. Adjacent to this doorway is a mullioned window of two lights with a hoodmould featuring returned ends on the right, and further to the right, a two-light mullioned window. Above these original openings are a blocked former two-light window with a hoodmould (lacking the mullion), a three-light window, and a two-light window. The windows on both floors feature chamfered flush mullions and hoodmoulds with returned ends. Further east at the first floor are remnants of a former mullioned window, with a small, blocked window immediately under the eaves above. The western range has inserted or altered windows to each floor in the nearer bay, with a large, single-storey outbuilding projecting at a right angle.
The interior of the original farmhouse has been remodelled.
