Description
Criddle's Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with enlargements made in the late 17th to early 18th centuries. The building features red sandstone random rubble on the left side, while the right side is rendered. The left section has a thatched roof, and there is a lower block on the right with a slate roof that has a shallow pitch. A stone stack is located at the right gable end, and a tall brick stack rises from the outshut at the rear.
The farmhouse has a plan consisting of three rooms with a large cross passage, with the kitchen situated to the right in the earlier part of the building and an outshut at the rear. It is two storeys high and has five bays on the left and one bay on the right. All window openings on the left are set under flattened brick arches, featuring late 17th-century cruciform windows with leaded panes. On the right, there is a 19th-century three-light leaded casement. The ground floor has four cruciform windows to the left of the entrance and a modified five-light leaded casement to the right. The entrance features an early 20th-century door. The interior has not been viewed.
