Description
Blackdyke Farmhouse and adjoining barns date from the mid to late 18th century. The farmhouse features cement rendered walls and a graduated greenslate roof, along with rendered and brick chimney stacks. It is a two-storey, two-bay structure with a lower two-bay extension to the right. The L-shaped barns, which have a lower roof line, are attached to the left and are constructed of English garden wall bond brickwork with a Welsh slate roof.
The farmhouse has a six-panel door set in a pilastered surround, complete with an entablature and pediment. It also features two-pane sash windows in painted stone surrounds. The extension includes a plank door within a painted stone architrave and a sash window with glazing bars to the right, also in a painted stone surround. External stone steps at the extreme right lead to a loft door of a former granary. The barns have a large projecting cart entrance, with ground floor plank doors and similar loft doors above.
