Nether Haresceugh

Nether Haresceugh is a farmhouse dated 1612, with an extension added in 1701 above the entrance. The original building features red sandstone rubble walls, a sandstone slate roof, and stone chimney stacks. It is a low, 2-storey, 5-bay house that forms a T-shape, with a higher adjoining extension. The central entrance is partly filled and has a chamfered surround. The ground and upper floors to the right have filled 2-light chamfered stone mullioned windows, while the left side features one filled small upper floor window and a fire window at the extreme left. Other ground floor windows are 19th and 20th century casements in enlarged openings. A stone lintel with the date 1612 and the initials R.L. and I.L. (with other initials weathered) is now free-standing at the rear.

The extension is built of similar stonework, with a chamfered plinth and shaped cornice, and has a sandstone slate roof with coped gables and kneelers, as well as ashlar end chimney stacks. This part of the building is 2½ storeys high and has 5 bays. The entrance features a 20th-century top glazed plank door set in a heavily moulded architrave, with a 2-light glazed frieze that includes a central oval date panel, a moulded entablature, and a projecting moulded cornice. To the right of the entrance, there is a flat cross mullioned window with a chamfered surround that has been filled, and a similar window above the entrance has been replaced. The remainder of the front is obscured by the gable wall of the earlier house.

On the garden front, there were originally similar cross mullioned windows; central windows on both floors have been filled, but one that has been rendered still has the original leaded panes beneath. The ground floor window to the right has been enlarged into a 3-pane sash, while other windows are 2, 3, and 6-pane sashes in their original surrounds, with the mullions removed. The end walls also feature similar partly filled cross mullioned windows and small attic windows.
