Sundial, Cranshaws Farm

Cranshaws Farm is a farmhouse built in the late 18th to early 19th century, with later additions. It is a symmetrical, two-storey building with an attic, featuring a three-bay plain classical style. A later gabled porch has been added to the front. At the rear, there is a single-storey, L-plan wing that forms a near T-plan. The exterior is finished in painted harl with polished sandstone dressings, some of which are lightly droved. The porch is made of coursed, polished, and tooled sandstone, with a raised sandstone base course and sandstone eaves course. The windows have polished sandstone margins and projecting cills.

On the southeast (entrance) elevation, there are steps leading to a timber panelled door that is centrally located in the gabled porch. This door features a five-pane fanlight and is flanked by pilasters. Inside the porch, there is a part-glazed timber panelled vestibule door. There is also a single window aligned at the first floor, with single windows in both flanking bays on each floor.

The northeast (side) elevation shows the original block with a single window at ground level in the outer left bay. A boarded timber shed obscures the bays to the right, and there is a round-arched attic light centered in the gablehead. The single-storey wing is recessed to the right, featuring a timber door in a porch that is advanced to the outer left, along with a single window in the outer right bay.

On the southwest (side) elevation, the original block has a single window at ground level in the outer left bay and a round-arched attic light centered in the gablehead. The single-storey wing has a single window in the outer left bay.

The windows predominantly feature 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case style, with round-arched timber sash and case attic windows. There is a modern window in the rear wing and various skylights. The roofs are covered with grey slate, and the original house has raised stone skews and cast-iron rainwater goods. The broad corniced apex stacks are made of droved sandstone on the southwest side and harled on the northeast side, with various circular cans, and there is an apex stack on the rear wing, although some cans are missing.

The interior was not seen in 1997.

Additionally, there is a sundial with a tiered, octagonal base leading to a baluster shaft and an octagonal table, with a metal gnomon in place.
