East Halket Farmhouse And Adjoining Buildings

East Halket Farmhouse and adjoining buildings date to 1847, with additions around 1900. The farmhouse is a two-storey, three-bay building with a piend-roofed design and a Doric porch on its front (south) elevation. L-shaped former byres, now residential, create a U-shaped courtyard to the rear (north). The front of the farmhouse is constructed from polished sandstone ashlar, while the rear and sides use squared, coursed, stugged sandstone. A white-glazed brick addition is present at the rear, and the courtyard elevations of the byres are of coursed sandstone, with other elevations built from random whinstone rubble with sandstone dressings. Features include a base course, eaves cornice, and blocking course to the house, along with raised ashlar window margins and quoin strips on the north elevation, long and short quoins, and some raised ashlar window margins on the byres.

The farmhouse features a non-traditional two-leaf timber-boarded front door with a fanlight, recessed within a Doric porch with free-standing columns and a full entablature. The fenestration is regular across the three bays. Former byre ranges abut the east and west elevations. A two-storey, glazed brick, semi-octagonal, piend-roofed addition is located at the centre of the rear (north) elevation, with regular fenestration on either side.

Most windows have plate glass glazing within non-traditional frames; a single original timber sash and case window with lying-pane glazing remains at ground floor level on the rear (right) side. Corniced stacks are topped with yellow clay cans, and the roof is covered in graded grey slate. Cast-iron rainwater goods are fitted with decorative brackets.

The interior features black and white tiles in the lobby, a curved stone staircase with cast-iron balusters and a painted mahogany rail, decorative plaster cornicing in the ground-floor drawing room, and timber-panelled interior doors throughout.

The west range, likely a former threshing barn, is a single-storey, T-plan wing with a later 19th-century gabled addition to the south. It has irregular, non-traditional fenestration and includes an 1847 datestone above a filled vehicle entrance on the courtyard (north) elevation, as well as three slit windows and arched pigeon-loft entrances on the north and south gables. The east range, named Balnakeilly, was a former cow byre and has predominantly 20th-century square windows with raised margins, and a glazed timber porch on the east elevation. A blocked doorway and loft entrance are visible on the north gable.

A corniced ashlar boundary wall and gate piers, lower gate piers, decorative timber foot-gates with iron strap hinges, and whinstone rubble walls with sandstone ashlar coping are located to the south. A gabled cottage, possibly a former byre, is situated to the northeast, with a late 20th-century extension and porch, gablehead stacks, rendered walls, non-traditional windows, and a slate roof.
