Home Farmhouse With Screen Wall And Pavilion To South And 2 Outbuildings To North

This is a mid-18th century farmhouse, likely built for Robert Conyers Darcy, Earl of Holderness, of Hornby Castle. The building is constructed of sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings, and has concrete interlocking tile, artificial slate, and stone slate roofs.

The main farmhouse is two storeys high and has three bays. A slightly-recessed single-storey screen wall is set to the left, with a two-storey, single-bay pavilion further to the left. Two single-storey, single-bay outbuildings are positioned to the right. The farmhouse features a plinth and quoins. The bays are treated as a round-arched arcade, with round arches carried on ashlar pilasters that have herringbone tooling and a continuous impost band. These arches have been infilled with coursed rubble, slightly recessed. The central bay has panelled doors with a three-pane overlight within a quoined surround and a keyed lintel. The outer bays have sash windows with glazing bars, also within quoined surrounds and keyed lintels. On the first floor, there are nine-pane unequally-hung sash windows with segmental-arched tops. A cornice runs around the top of the building. The roof is hipped and covered with artificial slate, with brick end stacks.

The screen wall to the left of the farmhouse has a plinth and a blocked tall central quoined doorway with a keyed lintel; to the right is a board door with a quoined left jamb. The pavilion to the left has quoins, a board door in the centre of the ground floor, a blocked window with a keyed lintel on the first floor, and a hipped concrete interlocking tile roof. The outbuilding to the right of the farmhouse has quoins to the right, a 20th-century part-glazed door and a 16-pane sash window, both in quoined surrounds with deep lintels, and a stone slate roof. The second outbuilding, further to the right, features quoins, a blocked doorway, a 16-pane sash window, both in quoined surrounds with deep lintels, and a hipped concrete interlocking tile roof.
