Description
North Synton is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in 1689 and later. It is a two-storey building with a part-basement and features three bays, along with single-storey extensions. The exterior is made of whitewashed rubble, with some quoin strips, stone cills, and painted margins. A notable feature is the corniced, roll-moulded doorpiece.
On the north elevation, there is a projecting bay at the center that includes a moulded doorpiece with a relief-carved lintel inscribed with 'MRC?IS 1689', a deep-set boarded timber door, and a three-part fanlight. To the left, there is a low piend-roofed bay with a window on the return and a tiny window on the first floor of the set-back face. There is also a further single-storey piended projection with a bipartite window and a single window on the return to the left, adjacent to single-storey bays that project at the outer right.
The east elevation is a blank gabled wall. The south elevation features grouped bays (two on the left and one on the right). The part-basement is located on the left, with the center bay having a pitch-roofed porch. The door is slightly to the left at the basement level, with a window in the center at ground level and a door on the return to the right. The flanking bays contain windows, one of which has been converted to a bipartite style. There are additional windows in the adjoining single-storey bays on the outer left, and the first floor has regular fenestration, with three small cast-iron rooflights above.
The windows are timber sash and case, featuring 4-pane, 8-pane, and plate glass glazing patterns. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are mutulated brick stacks. The interior was not seen in 2002.
