Description
Lumley House is a house that consists of two sections, built in the early to mid-18th century. It features limestone rubble that is brought to course and hammer-dressed limestone, topped with a pantile roof. The earlier section is located to the north, and there was once a through passage that is now blocked. The house has two storeys and four first-floor windows, with a noticeable change in construction to the left of the front door.
The entrance includes a four-panel door set within a 20th-century timber porch, and to the right is a replacement 16-pane sash window beneath a flat stone arch. To the left, there are two-light Yorkshire sashes with timber lintels. On the first floor, there are replacement 16-pane sashes, with flat stone arches to the right and timber lintels to the left. The house has end and ridge stacks.
Inside, the main living room features an off-centre ceiling beam, indicating that the passage may have been created by a later partition. The open string staircase has slender column-on-vase balusters. The roof comprises three tenoned-purlin trusses, with those to the north likely being reused and dating from the late 17th century.
