Longlands Farmhouse And Adjoining Ranges

Longlands Farmhouse and adjoining ranges form an L-shaped group around a cobbled farmyard. The farmhouse dates to 1822, when it was built for the occupiers, T & A Wannap, but incorporates earlier work from 1694, commissioned by D.A. Cartwright. The construction uses coursed local rubble, with the house itself rendered, and has slate gable-end roofs. The farmhouse has a three-unit plan with a through-panel and outshut, the latter lengthened and raised in 1822. It is two storeys high. A datestone reading "1822" sits above the rear doorway. The front elevation has a regular three-window arrangement, with raised surrounds to the windows, which have four-pane sash windows. The central doorway has an early ledge door with strap hinges, set beneath a simple slate slab porch. Quoining is visible on the right-hand side. The rear elevation features a doorway with a raised surround, a large sash window that illuminates the staircase, and two smaller windows, above a cellar and small upper room, all with raised surrounds. The roof has ridge and end stacks, with the ridge stack rebuilt in brick.

The interior of the farmhouse is remarkably well-preserved, retaining many original fixtures from 1822. A room to the left of the cross-passage includes raised panel cupboard doors on either side of a renewed fireplace. To the right, the housebody or hall, features a heck partition with a settle; a later 19th-century range sits within the fireplace, flanked by cupboards with depressed panels. Two ceiling beams and a flag floor complete the room. The parlour, to the right again, has slightly more elaborate furnishings that reflect its high status, with cupboards featuring beaded margins and fielded panels, along with fielded panelled internal shutters and a plaster cornice. Contemporary door surrounds and doors remain, with fielded panels to the parlour door. An open well staircase is within the outshut, with stick balusters, moulded newels, a ramped rail and moulded head ends. The first floor retains a complete set of doors and surrounds, internal shutters, a cornice to the bedroom above the parlour, and cupboards with panelled doors.

The farm buildings include a stable adjacent to the house, connecting to byres and a hayloft range. The hayloft range has various windows, some with raised surrounds, and a large, segmented arched carriage way. A revised datestone from 1694 is present. External steps incorporate kennels beneath them. The outer elevation is plain, featuring ground-floor windows only. Internally, a large stone smoke-hood survives in what was formerly a forge. Roof members are morticed and pegged.
