Description
Drigg and Irton Church Farmhouse and the attached barn are a farmhouse and barn complex. The farmhouse is dated 'WSA 1635' and has a 19th-century rear wing, while the barn likely dates from the late 17th century. The building features roughcast over stone with graduated slate and plain slate roofs.
The farmhouse is two stories tall with three windows on the first floor and a wing at the rear right. The barn, which is four bays wide, is to the left and shares the same roofline as the house. The farmhouse has a triangular-headed doorway on the left with a studded door, a chamfered surround, and a dripmould above it, along with a datestone. To the right of the door, there are chamfered, mullioned windows in groups of two, four, three, and three lights, all under dripmoulds. On the first floor, there are three 3-light windows in the same style with a continuous dripmould. There is a rendered end stack above the door and a projecting end stack on the right.
The barn to the left has two lean-tos against the front wall, each with a casement window, and the roof covering has been renewed. The rear of the farmhouse features a broad 19th-century wing, and an outshut with a catslide roof on the right has stone steps leading to a door in the end wall. The barn includes a waggon entrance and has collared, principal-rafter trusses.
Inside, the farmhouse has been remodelled in the 19th century, with boxed-in beams and a probable inglenook fireplace that is now concealed.
