Description
Habton House Farmhouse and the attached cottage are a farmhouse and cart-shed that have been adapted for use as a farmhouse and cottage. The buildings date from the 18th century but have earlier origins, with extensions and raising occurring in the early 19th century, and further alterations made in the late 19th century. In the 20th century, the property was remodelled and subdivided, incorporating part of the cart-shed into the house.
The cottage is fronted in red brick laid in English garden wall bond, with stone on the lower courses and render on the right and rear. The house is constructed from dressed calcareous sandstone. Both buildings have a concrete pantile roof, with brick stacks, while the former cart-shed has a pantile roof. The layout features a central-staircase plan cottage on the right, an L-shaped house on the left, and the former cart-shed further left.
The structure is two stories high with a five-window front and a projecting wing at the center, alongside a single-storey range to the left. The cottage has a 20th-century glazed door and replacement 20-pane sash windows with stone sills throughout, all featuring wedge lintels. The eaves have a modillion course, and there are end stacks, with the right stack being external.
The house has a 20th-century glazed door to the left of a two-light, small-pane horizontal-sliding sash window, both with painted wedge lintels. The first-floor windows are 16-pane sashes with timber lintels that interrupt the stepped eaves course. The ground floor of the gabled wing has a three-sash canted bay beneath an open pediment at the center, with a 16-pane sash above it on the first floor. All windows have stone sills, with the first-floor sills painted. The stacks are located to the left of the projecting wing and at the end left. The single-storey range features a 20th-century glazed door and a screen wall, with a tumbled brick gable end on the left. Inside the single-storey range, the structure is cruck-framed, with sections of two pairs of upper crucks visible on either side of the inserted entrance.
