Description

Castleton Farmhouse is an earlier 19th century, two-storey, three-bay rectangular farmhouse with a later addition to the east. It is constructed from tooled, snecked rubble with tooled dressings, featuring droved margins, long and short quoins, and narrow bargeboards.

The south elevation is symmetrical, with an advanced gabled porch at the center of the ground floor, which has a replacement grained panelled timber door. To the right of the door is a two-pane glazed panel with a letterbox fanlight above, and a window is located to the left return. There are single windows in the flanking bays and regular fenestration on the first floor. The single-storey, two-bay addition to the outer right has a slate piended roof, a timber door at the center, a window to the left, and irregular fenestration on the right return, with a single window and a wallhead stack at the rear.

The east elevation is obscured by the addition. The north elevation is asymmetrical, featuring a window at the center of the ground floor, a window to the left, and a window at the center of the first floor, with the right bay being blank. The addition is located to the outer left. The west elevation is also asymmetrical, with a single window off-center to the left of the ground floor.

The farmhouse predominantly has two-pane timber sash and case windows and a graded grey slate roof with a lead ridge. The west elevation features a rubble tooled coped gablehead stack with octagonal and circular cans, while the east elevation has a cement coped gablehead stack with circular cans.

The interior was not seen in 1997.

The property includes polished ashlar gatepiers with pyramidal caps, timber gates, and tooled boundary walls with rubble coping on all sides.
