Swinacote

Swinacote is a farmhouse, now a house, dated 1704. It is built of rubble with a stone slate roof and features a through-passage plan. The building has two storeys and three first-floor windows, with quoins at the corners. Between the first and second windows, there is a 20th-century pent-roofed porch that includes a timber 3-light mullion window and a glazed door on the right side. In the first bay, there are 3-light mullion windows, which are chamfered on the ground floor and partly chamfered and partly double-chamfered on the first floor. The second and third bays on the ground floor have 3- and 4-light flat-faced mullion windows with dripmoulds, while the first floor features 3-light double-chamfered mullion windows in the same bays. There are stacks at both ends of the building, as well as an older stack located between the second and third bays. An outbuilding to the left is not of special interest. At the rear, a 20th-century porch has the original inner door, which is framed by an ashlar surround with roll moulding on the arris and a triangular soffit to the lintel, which bears the inscription "IR 1704." Inside, the central ground-floor room has an ashlar fireplace supported by double-cyma corbels, with a 19th-century Carron cast-iron kitchen range inserted. Stone stairs run along the front wall in the left front room.
