Southwaite Park And Former Barn

This is a house and former barn, largely dating from 1704, with later 18th-century alterations and a 20th-century extension. The house has painted roughcast walls, with an eaves cornice, V-jointed quoins on a chamfered plinth. The roof is of graduated greenslate, repaired with Welsh slate, with coped gables, kneelers, and dressed red sandstone ridge and gable-end chimney stacks. The barn has walls of mixed sandstone rubble under a graduated sandstone slate roof.

The main house is two storeys and three bays, with a left three-bay extension and a right-angled barn at the rear. A 20th-century door is positioned off-centre, set within an alternate-block surround beneath a keyed lintel. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars, with the ground-floor windows being double-hung, all set in painted stone surrounds. The extension features a low recessed bay and a projecting gable, both with double-hung sash windows with glazing bars in painted stone surrounds, the recess including 20th-century dormer windows. A rear left porch has a 20th-century door in an alternate-block surround. A right-hand doorway also has an alternate-block surround. An off-centre, round-headed staircase window features radial glazing bars within the arch. The window layout is irregular, with sash windows (some double-hung) all in painted stone surrounds. The former barn has a central plank door in a chamfered stone surround, partially hidden by ivy.
