Glasserton Home Farm

Glasserton Home Farm is a late 18th century steading, originally built around a square courtyard. Further development occurred in the early 19th century, with an improved front elevation added to the southeast and additional ranges creating a parallel courtyard to the southeast. The early 19th century front elevation is symmetrical, single-storey and with a loft, likely originally housing stables. A central two-storey tower features a depressed-arch pend at ground level and a Venetian window above, now with a mono-pitch roof. The structure is primarily rubble construction with polished red sandstone margins and granite quoins, with corrugated-asbestos roofing.

The interior has been gutted and is now used for grain storage. The pend is blocked, and the courtyard to the north has been partly demolished, with the remainder obscured by a large, modern metal-framed agricultural shed. Three 18th century courtyard ranges remain on the south, west, and north sides, all rubble-built, partly rendered, and painted. These are two-storey structures with mostly original openings; some depressed-arch cart arches are partially blocked and served as byres on the ground floor, with granary/haylofts above. Slate roofs are on the south range, corrugated-asbestos on the west, and corrugated sheet metal on the north.

Various other ranges are present, including a roofless and decayed barn to the north, and a single-storey range to the northeast which contains four cartsheds and a cottage. The cottage is rubble-built with brick voussoired arches and has three bays with painted rubble.

As the home farm for Glasserton House (demolished in 1948), the steading was substantial and well-designed, although its grade reflects its current condition and 19th century alterations to the courtyard.
