Swindon Hall Farmhouse

This house is a farmhouse dating to around 1840. It is constructed of coursed gritstone with a graduated stone slate roof. The building is two storeys high and consists of three bays. A central 20th-century part-glazed door is set within a moulded Tudor arch with a dripmould. The flanking windows and those on the upper floor are 16-pane sashes in plain surrounds, each with a dripmould above. The house has deep eaves and a hipped roof, with end stacks. The current structure replaced an earlier building that was destroyed by fire in the early 19th century. Historical information appears in H Speight’s book, Kirkby Overblow and District, published in London in 1903, on pages 92 to 94.
