Schoose Farmhouse And Adjoining Barns

Schoose Farmhouse and adjoining barns are a group of buildings that date from around 1800, originally constructed for John Christian Curwen. The farmhouse features roughcast walls and a 20th-century tiled roof with roughcast chimney stacks. The barns are built from calciferous sandstone and cobble rubble, with part of the roof covered in graduated greenslate and the remainder in corrugated asbestos. The structure is two storeys high and consists of three bays, with the barns forming an overall U-shape.

The farmhouse has a 20th-century door and sash windows set in painted stone surrounds, while the rear also features 20th-century windows in similar surrounds. The attached barn includes a central blocked segmental archway and flanking blocked doorways, with loft doorways in quoined surrounds. Upper-floor slit vents are framed with red brick. An L-shaped, two-storey right return has upper-floor slit vents, is partially roughcast, and has an inserted door in the gable. The outer face of this return also has an inserted entrance, loft doorways, and ground and first-floor window openings in plain stone surrounds. There are remains of an external stone stair to the right that leads to first-floor loading doors. This complex is part of a model farm.
