Howgill House

Howgill House is a farmhouse, now a house, with an attached outbuilding at the west end. It was mostly built in the mid-19th century but includes part of a late 17th century or early 18th century house as a rear wing. The structure is made of roughly coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, and the front is painted white. The main range has a slate roof, while the outbuilding has a stone slate roof.

The building has an irregular plan, featuring a 19th-century double-depth, double-fronted main range oriented east-west and facing south. A continuous full-height rear outshut overlaps the east end and incorporates the earlier fabric, with an outbuilding attached at the west end.

The exterior is two storeys high with three windows, almost symmetrical. It has a 19th-century glazed porch in the centre, flanked by square four-pane sashes, with three similar sashes above; all these openings are slightly offset to the left. There are gable chimneys and a tall one-bay outbuilding extending to the left. The right-hand (east) gable wall features two sashes at ground floor and a relocated or ex situ stepped three-light mullioned window at first floor, complete with a hoodmould. The projecting monopitched end of the rear outshut has a lean-to at ground floor and a large corbelled chimney. The rear of this outshut has a plain doorway offset to the left, a small fire-window, and a nine-pane fixed window to the left, with a twelve-pane sash above and a tall twelve-pane stair-window to the right.

Inside, there are two chamfered beams in a room with a corbelled chimney. The house forms a group with a barn located approximately 20 meters to the north.
