Description
This building is a farmhouse and barn, now serving as a farm outbuilding, located approximately 200 meters south of North Corner Farmhouse. It dates from the early 17th century, with additions made in the mid to late 18th century. The structure is built from coursed squared gritstone and features a graduated stone slate roof. It has two storeys and consists of one main bay with a two-storey, one-bay addition to the right, and a three-bay barn on the left.
The main range has a board door on the right set in a quoined surround, featuring a deep chamfer and an elliptical arch over the lintel. To the left, the ground floor has a three-light flat-faced mullioned window, although one mullion is missing. The first floor has a three-light recessed-chamfered mullion window, also with one missing mullion. There are no visible stacks on the building. The additional bay to the right has a board door in a sawn-stone surround on the right, and a square window in a plain stone surround on the left, with a similar surround (missing the right jamb) for the pitching door above. The barn's original openings are obscured by lean-to additions that are not of special interest, but the stone coursing continues from the house.
At the rear, there is a fire window located at the center of the ground floor of the domestic range. Inside the house, the earlier bay features a steep flight of very worn stone steps built into the side of a large chimney stack. There is a fireplace with single-block sides and a cambered lintel, which is now blocked. Stone shelves are built into the wall to the left of the entrance. There is a door leading to the extra bay on the right, which has been blocked due to the conversion for farm use. On the first floor of the earlier bay, there is a small fireplace with a plain stone surround and a moulded lintel against the left gable.
Although the house has been extensively altered in the second half of the 18th century, it retains features typical of an early 17th-century single-bay house, which was a common form in this area for over a century. The large fireplace in the living room or kitchen may have been underbuilt in the 18th century, but the fire window, the steep worn steps, and the hood above may be remnants of the earlier structure. This farmhouse is one of six remaining dwellings from the old settlement of Thruscross, located on the north side of the reservoir.
