Description
Cappleside Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1830, with origins dating back to the late 17th century or early 18th century. It features slobbered rubble construction with stone dressings and a slate hipped roof. The building has a former central staircase plan and is two storeys high with three bays. The central entrance is adorned with Tuscan engaged pillars and an open pediment, leading to an eight-panel door topped by a round-headed fanlight with intersecting tracery. There are two ground floor and three upper floor windows, all with plain surrounds and 16-pane sash designs. The farmhouse also has projecting quoins, a moulded eaves cornice, and a central ridge stack.
On the right-hand side, there is an early 18th-century entrance with a moulded surround that has been partly blocked to create a window, along with 20th-century casements. The ground floor includes three late 17th or early 18th-century cross windows featuring four and six-pane casements and fixed lights. The upper floor has two similar windows and a third window with three lights and a transom. Inside, there is a repositioned late 17th or early 18th-century dog-leg staircase with a closed string, turned balusters, and a ball finial on the newel post.
