Description

Ling and the adjoining barn are a farmhouse and barn built in the early 18th century. The farmhouse features a rendered exterior over red sandstone and has an eaves cornice. It has a Welsh slate roof with 20th-century brick chimney stacks. The house is two stories high with three bays, and there is a lower long barn to the right. The front door appears to have been blocked and is covered with render. It has tall sash windows with glazing bars, and a double sash window on the ground floor to the right, all set in painted stone surrounds. The rear of the house has a 20th-century door and windows, along with one original two-light window. The barn has a 20th-century door in a stone surround and sash windows also in stone surrounds. There is a smaller window to the right with a chamfered surround that may have been a fire window. To the right of the barn is a contemporary shippon with a corrugated zinc roof. The rear of the barn has a corresponding 20th-century door that may have been a cross passage. There are external stone steps leading to a loft door, and other ground-floor doorways and lofts feature early 18th-century stone surrounds.
