Spire House

Spire House is a farmhouse built in the early 18th century, with a folly extension added in the late 18th century for the 11th Duke of Norfolk. The main structure features cement rendered walls and is topped with a Welsh slate roof that has coped gables and a left kneeler. It has banded sandstone ashlar chimney stacks. The folly extension is made of dressed pink sandstone and includes a string course, eaves cornice, battlemented parapets, and V-jointed quoins. Atop the extension is a polygonal leaded spire within the parapets.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has three bays, with a right projecting polygonal extension. It features sash windows, including one double window on the ground floor and smaller casement firewindows on the right, all set within painted stone surrounds. A left lean-to has a plank door in a plain opening. The extension's front wall is canted forward and has a central sash window beneath a pointed-arched sash window, with blind round-headed recesses on either side under twin pointed-head windows, all in raised stone surrounds. The right return wall has a blind circular recess. The spire sits on a battlemented polygonal base with a blind pointed-arched recess.

At the rear of the house, there is a 19th-century extension featuring a plank door and 2- and 3-light windows, all under hoodmoulds that are continuous on the ground floor. Spire House is one of a group of three folly farmhouses in the Greystoke area. The adjoining farm buildings are later additions and are not of interest.
