Carrington Mains Farmhouse, Carrington

Carrington Mains Farmhouse is an 1813 two-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan farmhouse that has undergone later additions and alterations. It is constructed from tooled coursed yellow sandstone with droved dressings, featuring an eaves course, projecting cills, long and short dressings, and quoins.

The southeast elevation is symmetrical, with a pink sandstone gabled porch that projects at the center of the ground floor, featuring a panelled timber door. There are 8-pane timber windows on either side of the porch, with coped stone skews above. The roof is covered in grey slate with a lead ridge, and there is regular fenestration on the first floor.

The northeast elevation is also symmetrical, with a single window at the center of the first floor. To the right, there is a single-storey, three-bay addition that includes a timber door with a letter-box fanlight in the central gabled bay, flanked by a 2-pane window. A 2-pane window is located in the piend-roofed bay to the left, with pal stone at the outer right angle.

The northwest elevation is asymmetrical and mostly obscured by additions. It features a 6-pane window on the left side of the first floor and a single-storey addition in the center and left bays of the ground floor, each with a window. A gabled single-bay, two-storey addition is advanced to the right, but its ground floor is obscured by the adjoining Carrington Mains Steading.

The southwest elevation is near-symmetrical, with a lean-to conservatory on the ground floor and two window openings at the center of the first floor, one of which is blind. There is a two-storey, two-bay addition on the outer right with regular fenestration.

The farmhouse predominantly features 4-pane timber sash and case windows, a purple-grey slate roof with a lead ridge, and coped stone skews. The gablehead stacks are made of tooled sandstone with circular cans, and there are cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 1998.

Surrounding the property are ironwork gates to the northeast, south, and east. The east side has coped polished sandstone gatepiers with half-spherical caps, and there are coped, coursed polished sandstone quadrant walls. A rubble wall with rubble coping is located to the south of the house.
