Wash House, Ingleston Farm

The wash house at Ingleston Farm, possibly designed by G H Higginbottom, dates from the early 20th century. It is a single-storey, roughly three-bay structure built in the Arts and Crafts style, featuring a prominent steeply pitched roof with a louvered ventilator topped with a finial. The exterior is constructed from coursed squared whinstone rubble, with dressed long and short quoins. The eaves are overhanging and timber boarded.

The front (west) and rear (east) facades have regular fenestration, including a central doorway on the west side with a boarded timber door. The north and south elevations are blind, and there is a flat-roofed extension attached to the south. Round-capped bases for drying posts are located next to the north and south elevations.

The windows are timber with small pane glazing, and the steeply pitched roof is covered with clay tiles. The building features prominent hipped wallhead stacks with clay cans.

Inside, the wash house has a plain interior with some later alterations. The floor includes some clay patterned tiles, and the walls are made of lath and plaster.
