Description
Sink Fall Farmhouse is an 18th-century farmhouse and cottage with attached farm buildings, which has been altered in the 19th century. It is constructed of red sandstone, partly roughcast, and features a graduated slate roof that has been partially replaced with corrugated sheets. The building has an elongated L-shape, with a two-storey house and cottage that have a total of three windows on the first floor, arranged in a 2:1 pattern. To the left, there is a six-bay barn under the same roof, along with a later two-storey cow house wing at the front left. Both the farmhouse and barn have two-storey wings at the rear.
The farmhouse has a 20th-century door set within a gabled sandstone porch, with six-pane sash windows on each floor, featuring projecting sills and stone lintels. The cottage to the right has a panelled door and paired four-pane sashes beneath a six-pane sash. The right gable of the farmhouse is topped with ashlar copings and has a 19th-century stone stack, along with two matching ridge stacks. The barn has an altered waggon entrance with a doorway to the right. The front gable of the cow house features a segmentally-arched door beneath three slits, while its right return has three small openings and a loft door flanked by slits.
At the rear of the house, the wing is lit by two-light, square-faced mullioned windows on each floor, with three similar windows on the main range to the left. Inside the farmhouse, there are fielded two-panel pine doors off the landing. The barn has an 18th-century roof supported by principal-rafter trusses with double purlins, while the cow house features a pattern-book king-post truss. The floor framing of the rear wing of the barn suggests it may have been used as a horse gin in the past.
