Ayton Mill Farm

Ayton Mill Farm is a later 19th-century house that may include earlier elements, with additional modifications made over time. The building is an asymmetrical, two-storey, two-bay structure with an irregular plan and a gabled porch located in the re-entrant angle at the front. At the rear, there is a single-storey lean-to addition. The exterior is constructed from sandstone and whinstone rubble, featuring sandstone dressings and pointed-arched red brick relieving arches. It has a base course in parts and overhanging timber bracketed eaves. The openings have long and short surrounds, stop-chamfered details, sandstone mullions, and chamfered cills. There is also a single-storey ancillary structure or store.

On the northeast (entrance) elevation, there is a gabled wing that projects to the right, featuring a tripartite window in a piended projection at ground level and a bipartite window above it on the first floor. The lower wing to the left is recessed and has a boarded timber door offset to the right, accompanied by a plate glass fanlight and stop-chamfered timber supports for the gabled porch that projects to the front.

The southeast (side) elevation displays a two-storey gable end with a tripartite window centered at ground level and a bipartite window on the first floor. There are also bipartite windows in the single-storey lean-to flanking bays. A two-storey wing is recessed to the right, featuring a gabled porch in the re-entrant angle at the front.

On the southwest (rear) elevation, there is a blind elevation to the single-storey lean-to projection on the outer right, with a single window in a bay that is recessed to the left of center. There is a brick-built lean-to addition projecting to the outer left.

The windows are plate glass timber sash and case types. The roof is slate, with timber bargeboards and battered coping to the ridge stacks, although many cans are missing. The building features iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 1999. The ancillary structure is a single-storey, two-bay building made of sandstone rubble with sandstone dressings and stop-chamfered openings. Its entrance elevation has a boarded timber door in the left bay and another door opening to the right, topped with a slate roof. The interior is used as a store.

The site is enclosed by coped rubble boundary walls.
