Description
The Luham is a farmhouse, likely built in the early 18th century. It features red sandstone rubble walls with flush quoins and has graduated greenslate roofs topped with banded red sandstone chimney stacks. The building stands three storeys tall with two bays of double span, and includes a lower two-storey, three-bay extension. An off-centre door is set within a pedimented surround. The windows are flat stone-mullioned, with two- and three-light configurations. The extension has an off-centre door, with four-light flat stone-mullioned windows on both floors to the left, and sash windows in stone surrounds to the right. The name Luham is derived from a medieval vicar of Edenhall. The adjoining farm buildings are not of interest.
