Description

This U-shaped range of farm buildings, which includes an attached wall, railings, and a gateway, is located immediately to the west of the farmhouse at the Farmstead. Built around 1870, with later additions, it was constructed for the Yorke family of Bewerley Hall. The buildings are made of deeply-coursed, dressed sandstone and feature graduated Welsh slate roofs.

The layout consists of an elongated two-storey main range with one-storey wings on the east side, enclosing a paved yard. This yard is surrounded by walls, railings, and gates on the east side, while additional walls enclose yards on the south side and an orchard on the west side.

On the main range's east side, there is a slatted casement window on the ground floor to the left of external stone steps with an iron handrail. Beneath the landing is a folding door, and above it is a boarded door set in a quoined opening. Two slatted casements are located on the first floor. A corniced stack is positioned at the eaves on the left, and the roof is hipped.

The left front wing features quoined openings, with a window flanked by doors at the front end and a hipped roof. The right return has boarded doors with slot vents, and a round-arched opening on the right includes a stone ledge that slopes towards an internal water trough. The left return mirrors this design with similar doors and narrow windows in between.

The right front wing, which is of slightly later construction, has a series of slatted casements and doorways (some of which are blocked) on its left return, and a window at the front end beneath a hipped roof. The yard between the wings is enclosed by dwarf walls with railings that curve inward to simple iron gates hung on round-headed stone piers.

An attached wall on the south side of the range features chamfered copings and curves to line the roadside, enclosing two yards. This wall continues along the left side of the two-storey range to enclose the orchard. This range is a significant part of the planned home farm that once served Bewerley Hall.
