Description
Denton Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the early 19th century. It features hammer-dressed calciferous sandstone walls with large flush quoins and a graduated green slate roof with coped gables and stone end chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and has three bays. The 20th-century door has a quoined painted surround. The sash windows, which include glazing bars, have plain painted stone surrounds. The listing also includes a single-storey, one-bay extension to the left, which has similar details and a Welsh slate roof, but it excludes other farm buildings. The farmhouse may be older than the nearby Newcastle and Carlisle railway, which opened in 1838 and runs just a few metres in front of the house.
