Description
Longwath and the adjoining barn are a farmhouse and barn dating from the late 18th century, with an early 19th-century addition. The building features painted roughcast walls and painted V-jointed quoins beneath a graduated greenslate roof, which is topped with stone chimney stacks. It is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with a lower right-angled extension to the right and a lower barn at right angles to the left rear. There is a 20th-century door in a painted stone surround under a pediment. The farmhouse has sash windows with glazing bars set in painted stone surrounds, and the extension also includes sash windows, some of which have glazing bars in similar surrounds. The barn was originally the farmhouse and features farmyard doorways with Tudor arches, one of which is dated and inscribed "C & MA 1665" and the other "G & JA 1699." The rear wall has a ground-floor blocked four-light stone-mullioned window and a similar enlarged and blocked two-light window above.
