Description
Middlefield House is an early 18th-century house featuring a cruck frame and sandstone rubble brought to course, topped with a thatch roof that is covered with corrugated iron. The building has a three-cell baffle-entry plan and is a single storey with attic dormer windows. It has a boarded door, a two-light Yorkshire sash window to the left, and a tripartite sash and casement window to the right. The attic includes dormers, and there is a stack at the right end and on the ridge.
Inside, there are inglenook fireplaces in the left end and central rooms. The central room features a small carved wooden cupboard set in a moulded architrave with decorative strap hinges. Wall cupboards to the right of the fireplace have H hinges. There is evidence of brickwork in the right gable end, indicating a raising of the roof line. The house is illustrated in Harrison and Hutton's "Vernacular Buildings in North Yorkshire and Cleveland," published in 1984.
