Description

Ingleston is an 18th-century farmhouse with additions and alterations from the early 19th century. It is composed of three main blocks arranged in a compact, rectangular group. The main north elevation has three bays, and a narrow gabled wing to the rear creates an L-shaped plan, both dating back to the 18th century. A broader gabled wing, added in the early 19th century, fills in a re-entrant angle, featuring a full-height bow window to the east. The building is constructed of painted rubble throughout.

The north elevation has a string basecourse and raised, polished quoins and margins. A Roman Doric, pedimented porch has steps leading up to a doorway with a hexagonal-pane glazed fanlight. Tripartite sash windows (likely 19th-century alterations) are placed on either side of the door, with a single light at first floor level. A widened window is located above the porch, featuring concrete jambs. All windows are small-paned sashes. The slate roof has raised skews and skewputts, with tall, corniced end stacks. A single-storey addition to the right contains modern dormers which obscure much of the west elevation. The east wing incorporates a full-height, three-light bow window.

Inside, a triple-arch pendant screen fronts a dog-leg staircase. A drawing room, located on the first floor of the east block, contains good timber panelling, carved Corinthian pilasters to the mullions, and an elaborate fireplace.

Local climate

Ingleston sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,250 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 93% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 95% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 62% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.2°C per decade since 1991.
