Bigber Farmhouse

Bigber Farmhouse is a 1727 farmhouse located on the north side of Main Street in Bentham. It is constructed of slobbered rubble stone with stone dressings and a stone slate roof. Originally a three-bay structure, a fourth bay was added to the right-hand side, likely in the 19th century. The central entrance, to the left of centre, features a moulded surround and a decorated lintel inscribed with the date 1727 and the initials "ML"; the door itself is 20th century. A ground-floor two-light, flat-faced mullioned window is positioned to the left of the entrance, while a heightened two-light chamfered mullioned window with a hoodmould sits to the right. The upper floor features a 20th-century window with a projecting sill and a three-light and a two-light chamfered mullioned window. The right-hand extension has a window with a plain surround on each floor. The left-hand gable has shaped kneelers and coping. Two gable end ridge stacks are present; the stack to the left projects and is supported by two stone corbels. The interior is not accessible.
