Midtown Farmhouse And Adjoining Barn

Midtown Farmhouse and the adjoining barn are located in Great Strickland. The farmhouse dates from the early 19th century, while the barn is from the 18th century. The farmhouse features cement rendered walls and a graduated greenslate roof with rebuilt brick chimney stacks. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure. The central entrance has a panelled door with an overlight, all set in a painted stone surround. The sash windows, which have glazing bars, are also framed in painted stone surrounds. The barn, which is partly domestic, has walls made of calciferous sandstone and limestone, topped with a graduated greenslate roof. It has a lower right five-bay layout. The barn includes a 20th-century door on the left and 20th-century casement windows in painted stone surrounds. The rest of the barn features flat-headed and segmental-headed doorways, including one flat-headed loft doorway and one with a Tudor arch. There are regularly spaced upper-floor slit vents. The farmhouse and barn are included for their group value with Sunnyside. The right-angled byres are not of interest.
