Peaston

Peaston is a farmhouse dating from around 1800, with some additions made in the 19th century. It is a two-storey building with three main bays, featuring two lower, recessed bays on one side and a taller drawing room wing added at the rear. The structure is built from sandstone rubble, with some areas finished with harl pointing and dressed with droved ashlar.

On the west elevation, there is an ashlar porch with a cornice and blocking course added to the original house, located centrally. This porch has a doorway on the side and windows on the other elevations, with windows in the flanking bays and one in each bay on the first floor. The lower recessed bay to the south has a simpler ashlar porch added at the re-entrant angle, with a doorway on the south side and a large window beside it, along with a first-floor window. The even lower bay to the south has a window on each floor, placed asymmetrically.

The east elevation features a tall drawing room wing that projects from the right side and is two bays deep, with a bowed gable end and two first-floor windows. There is a piend-roofed addition in the re-entrant angle to the left, with irregular smaller windows in the remaining bays.

On the south elevation, there is a lean-to stone addition at the ground level of the south gable.

The farmhouse displays a variety of glazing patterns, predominantly featuring 12-pane and 4-pane sash and case windows. The building has ashlar coped skews, coped end stacks, and retains its original chimney cans, all covered with purple slates.
