Shorthorn Farmhouse

Shorthorn Farmhouse is a farmhouse built before 1849, possibly by George Webster. It features roughcast stone with rock-faced stone dressings and a slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has four bays, with the fourth bay breaking forward under a gable. It includes quoins and decorative bargeboards. The windows have label moulds over rock-faced lintels and consist of casements with two or three lights, featuring iron glazing bars arranged in octagon and square patterns typical of the Holker estate. The second bay on the first floor has a window under a gablet, with a cross casement. The entrance to the second bay is marked by an open timber lean-to porch with a gablet. There is a gable-end stack and a cross-axial stack. The right return of the building has three bays with a projecting gabled bay and a re-entrant hipped porch leading to the entrance.
