Clashbenny

Clashbenny is a traditional farmhouse built in the earlier to mid 19th century. It is a two-storey, three-bay structure with an irregular U-shaped plan, constructed from coursed, squared, and snecked red sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings.

The southeast elevation is symmetrical, featuring stone steps with ironwork railings that lead to the central bay at ground level, which has a timber door and a fine horizontal six-pane, margined fanlight. There are windows in the flanking bays and regular fenestration on the first floor.

On the southwest elevation, there is a window on each floor of the gabled bay to the right and another bay to the left. The northeast elevation has a gable to the left with a window at ground level, and further windows in the long, slightly set-back bay on the right.

The northwest elevation, which faces the steading, has an advanced gable to the left with a small square window at ground level and another gable to the right, forming a small courtyard with a variety of openings. The windows throughout mostly feature a twelve-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case style. The roof is covered with small grey slates, and there are coped rendered stacks with thackstanes and cans.

Inside, there are timber shutters and a timber fireplace located in the ground right room at the southeast.

The terraced garden to the southeast is enclosed by a coped red brick wall, with stone steps and a decorative ironwork gate. There are also semicircular-coped brick boundaries and another ironwork gate to the southwest.
