Carr End with attached screen wall

Carr End is a farmhouse that has been converted into two houses, with an attached screen wall. It dates from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the late 18th to early 19th centuries. The building is constructed of rubble and features a stone slate roof. It stands two storeys high and has four first-floor windows, with a wall that projects at right angles from the left-hand end.

The house has a part-glazed door in an ashlar surround located between the third and fourth bays. To the left of the door, there are sash windows with glazing bars in ashlar surrounds on the ground floor, and in architraves on the first floor. To the right, there is a bay with tripartite sash windows in an ashlar surround. The far left bay is blank. There are chimney stacks at both ends, with one located between the first and second bays.

On the rear elevation, there is a Venetian window leading to the landing of the staircase. The right return features a projecting chimney breast.

Inside, the sitting room on the left has panelled shutters, an early 18th-century panelled cupboard door next to the fireplace, and stop-chamfered beams and joists. The dining room on the right contains Regency six-panel doors and deal panelling, as well as a cantilevered stone geometrical staircase.

The screen wall includes a board door in an ashlar surround and features two different decorative lintels, both inscribed with "IF: 1667" (John Fothergill). The Fothergill family were Quakers, and meetings were held at this house before the construction of Countersett Meeting House. Dr John Fothergill, a notable physician and author of medical treatises, was born here in 1712 and died in 1780.

The name "Carr End" refers to the end of Semer Water, a lake, or carr, in local dialect.
