Fountainside

The farmsteading dates to the earlier 19th century and comprises a T-plan farmhouse, a cart shed, and a steading. The farmhouse is a single storey with an attic, constructed of coursed sandstone with stugged dressings to the south-east elevation, and tooled rubble with droved dressings to the remainder.

The south-east, or principal, elevation has three bays and is symmetrical. A glazed timber lean-to porch obscures the glazed timber front door, with a window in each flanking bay. The north-east elevation is asymmetrical, with a gabled bay projecting to the left, a window off-centre to the right on the ground floor, and a window set in the gable of the attic floor. The ground floor of the remaining two bays is regularly fenestrated, with a gabled window breaking the eaves at the attic floor of the bay to the right. The north-west elevation is a single bay, near symmetrical and gabled, and is currently blank except for a later addition to the outer right. The south-west elevation is two bays and asymmetrical, featuring an advanced gabled bay to the right with a central window on both the ground and first floors, and a window to the left return at ground floor. A 20th-century glazed timber porch obscures the bay to the left. A late 19th-century single-storey addition is located to the outer right, gabled with two irregularly placed windows. Most windows are 2-pane timber sash and case; others are replacements. The roof is grey slate with a lead ridge and coped stone skews. Circular cans top coped rubble gablehead stacks, and cast iron rainwater goods are present. The interior was not inspected in 1998.

The cart shed is a single-storey, L-plan structure of random rubble with droved long and short dressings. The south-east elevation has six bays, and is asymmetrical, with a glazed and boarded window in the outermost bay to the right. The remaining bays feature segmental arched openings with chamfered reveals. The north-east elevation has four bays and is asymmetrical, with boarded timber doors in the penultimate bay to the right and outer left bays, and glazed and boarded windows in the penultimate bay to the left and outermost bay to the right. The north-west elevation was not inspected in 1998, and the south-west elevation is blank. The roof is grey slate, with a piended design and lead ridges.

The steading is a two-storey rectangular building of rubble with droved long and short dressings. The south-east elevation has a single bay and is symmetrical, featuring a window at the centre of the ground floor which is partly infilled, and a window at the centre of the first floor with timber slats. The north-east elevation has three bays and is near symmetrical; it features boarded and glazed windows to the ground and first floors of the central bay, boarded timber doors on the ground floor of each flanking bay, and two narrow vertical openings to the ground floor on the right. A brick addition is located on the outer right. The south-west elevation features a corrugated iron porch and a two-leaf boarded timber door to the right of the ground floor. The north-west elevation was not inspected in 1998.
