Description
Lumb Farmhouse and the adjoining barn are located on Cocket Lane in Rathmell. The farmhouse dates back to 1709, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of squared rubble with stone dressings and features a stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has four bays. The entrance is positioned to the right of the center and has a chamfered surround with a decorated lintel that is dated and inscribed with "IB."
On the ground floor, there are four windows: two are modern two-light double chamfered mullioned windows, one is a single-light chamfered fire window with a decorated lintel, and the last is a three-light ovolo mullioned window. A dripmould runs above the entrance. The upper floor also has four windows, which were originally two-light double chamfered, but only the window above the entrance retains its mullion; the others have been replaced with casements around 1985. A ridge stack is located left of center, added around 1985.
Inside, the right-hand room features an inglenook fireplace with 15 voussoirs in a basket arch supported by two columns, with a decorated pendant keystone. There are round arch entrances to both the left and right, both of which are moulded. The roof structure includes early 18th-century king post trusses with tie beams that have been cut out, and purlins added around 1985. A rear outshut for stairs is part of the original build of the house.
The 19th-century barn to the left is built into the hillside and rises above the farmhouse. The decorated lintel of the house is similar to one found at Sutcliffe House in Belle Hill, Giggleswick, which dates to 1693.
