Crickle Farmhouse

Crickle Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century. It is constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof and is a substantial building designed around a central stack. The house has three storeys and is arranged in three bays by one bay. A central porch rises three storeys and features a doorway with moulded jambs and an elliptical head. On either side of the porch, on each floor, and above the ground floor in the porch itself, there are three-light double chamfered stone mullion windows. The gable of the porch contains an illegible plaque. The right-hand gable has similar windows, with one on each storey, consisting of five, five, and four lights. At the rear, there is a small two-light window. Inside, the fireplaces have been altered or blocked, although the outline of one can still be traced on the north side of the stack at the first floor. The roof features four heavy trusses with angle struts, two of which are supported on short wall posts from corbels. Only one truss retains a king post; the others have king blocks that may have originally been posts.
