Description
Ford End House is a house and attached cottage located on the south side of Ampleforth West End. The house dates from the late 18th century and has late 19th-century alterations, while the cottage is from the mid-18th century. The house is built of hammer-dressed limestone and has a Welsh slate roof, while the cottage features a pantile roof.
The house has a central hallway entry and is two storeys tall with an attic, consisting of three bays. It has a six-panel door with a divided overlight. The windows are 16-pane sashes with stone lintels, although the central first-floor window is blocked. There is evidence suggesting that the roofline has been raised, and a dormer window is located on the left side. The house has end stacks.
The cottage is a single structure with two storeys and one first-floor window. There is a blocked doorway on the left side and a two-light Yorkshire sash window beneath a wedge lintel on the right. On the first floor, there is another two-light Yorkshire sash window. The cottage features sprocketed eaves, gable coping, shaped kneelers, and a stack at the right end.
