Description
Grain Farm House is a farmhouse, dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, with alterations from the 19th and mid-20th centuries. It is built of rendered stone with painted stone dressings, and has a stone slate roof. The house is arranged around a central staircase and has a gable end facing the street.
The front of the house has two storeys and three bays. A central porch features Tuscan pilasters and a moulded lintel, sheltering a six-panel door with the two upper panels glazed. Mid-20th century canted bay windows flank the ground floor, each covered by a continuous slate hood. The upper floor has three windows with moulded surrounds and 20th-century casements. Chamfered quoins and moulded eaves with modillions are present. The gable end has coping and shaped kneelers. Gable end ridge stacks are also visible. A one-bay extension from the 19th century is attached to the right.
At the rear, there are two chamfered windows per storey. The ground floor left-hand window contains sash windows with sixteen panes. A central segmental arched staircase window has impost blocks, a moulded arch, and a keystone, with Gothic glazing. A farm building at the rear carries the inscription “WH1763,” attributed to William Husband.
