Southwaite Hall and Copper Cottage and Cobblestones (former adjoining barn)

Southwaite Hall, now divided into two dwellings along with Copper Cottage and adjoining Cobblestones (a former barn), dates to the mid-16th century and has undergone several alterations. Significant changes were made in 1628, as evidenced by inscribed dates and the inclusion of a Skelton coat-of-arms (Richard & Lettice Skelton), and further alterations occurred in the late 18th century. An early 19th-century extension was also added to the barn.

The building is constructed of painted roughcast rubble stone, with a steeply-pitched roof of graduated greenslate, and features a right coped gable. A large rendered stone ridge chimney stack is present, featuring slate drip stones and a brick top, while a gable-end chimney is constructed of brick. The extension incorporates painted rendered walls with V-jointed quoins, under a graduated greenslate roof, and sandstone chimney stacks. The rear outshut has an asbestos roof. The barn is built of red sandstone rubble with Welsh and greenslate roofs.

The original house is two storeys with six bays, with a taller two-bay extension to the left, now Copper Cottage, and a lower, L-shaped barn to the right. A 20th-century door sits within a 17th-century chamfered stone surround between the original house's chimneys. The original 17th-century windows, consisting of two-light chamfered stone-mullioned windows beneath continuous hoodmoulds on both floors, have been altered with the insertion of late 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars in painted stone surrounds. Blocked firewindows are associated with the left chimney stack. The extension has a 20th-century door and sash windows, all within painted stone surrounds. Part of the barn is integrated into the house, featuring a sash window within stone surrounds on both floors, on an otherwise blank front wall. The rear outshut comprises three distinct builds, extending partly over the extension and partly over the barn. A small window retains traces of its chamfered mullion, and a doorway has a reused dated lintel, likely relocated from a rear wall. A 19th-century stone porch on the left return wall of the outshut contains a reused lintel dated and inscribed with “J.S. & E.S. 1678” (probably John Salkeld and his wife).

The rear of the barn features plank doors and loft openings within stone surrounds. The interior of the house showcases beamed ceilings. The right gable contains a large 16th-century segmental-arched stone fireplace, adjacent to a spiral stone staircase within the wall's thickness, which now provides access to the upper floor of the barn, but originally extended higher, before being blocked. A similar fireplace, now a plastered recess, is associated with the ridge stack. A rear 19th-century cupboard is situated within a blocked window recess, complete with its stone mullion.
