Haltonhill Steading

This is a late 18th-century steading of a small, rectangular plan, consisting of a courtyard with additional ranges extending to the northwest and southwest. The main buildings are constructed of random whinstone rubble with dressed ashlar quoins and piers. Elliptical-arched openings are defined by voussoirs, and the outer corners of the courtyard buildings are rounded.

The courtyard elevation features three-bay shelter sheds on the southeast (with a taller rubble bay to the outer left), southwest (five bays), and northwest (five bays). A flagstone-topped rubble feeding ledge extends along the outer wall of the northwest range. Cottages are situated to the northeast of the courtyard.

The northeast elevation displays a timber door with partially glazed panels and a window flanking it centrally, with another window and a panelled timber door to the outer left. Access to the courtyard is available to the left. The northwest elevation has a wide boarded timber door centrally and five small leaded windows, originally feed hatches, to the right. One of these outer right windows has collapsed.

The southwest elevation features a wide opening containing a boarded timber door off-centre to the left, alongside evidence of a former opening, possibly a door, to the left of that.

The windows throughout the steading are either timber sash and case with small panes, or diamond pattern leaded casement windows. Roofing materials include grey slates on the northwest, northeast, and southeast ranges, and corrugated asbestos on the southwest range. Coped ashlar stacks and thackstanes are also present.

The northwest range contains a converted cart-shed with a part-glazed timber door and plate glass fanlight at the centre, flanked by windows and a further window to the outer left. An adjoining range with three windows sits to the outer left. The southeast elevation shows four blocked cart arches to the left of the centre, followed by a range with a boarded timber door and a full-height sliding door to the outer right. Windows have either a 10- and 12-pane glazing pattern or a 6-pane upper over plate glass lower design within elliptical-arched openings. Corrugated asbestos roofing is present on the east side, with modern tiles covering the converted cottage section.

A straw barn, of uncertain designation, is located on the southwest side, displaying a wide door with a double lintel centrally and a blinded hayloft opening above, positioned off-centre to the left. A cottage abuts the southwest range to the outer right. The northwest elevation is characterized by a full-height, two-leaf sliding timber door and a piended corrugated asbestos roof.
