Hartside Farmhouse And Steading

Hartside Farmhouse and Steading is an earlier 19th-century, two-storey, three-bay farmhouse with a roughly square plan and a complex piend roof. The entrance elevation features an advanced piended central bay. Notable architectural details include a fine plain pilastered doorpiece and console-bracketed pentice canopies above the principal ground floor windows. The building has a base course and a banded eaves course, with overhanging stone eaves. It is constructed from coursed whinstone rubble with droved sandstone quoins, and the windows have stone cills and margined surrounds.

The farmhouse has lying-pane style UPVC windows, although two original timber mullioned lying-pane windows remain in the northeast room. The entrance features a four-panelled bi-fold timber door with a glazed pen light above. The roof is plain slate, and there are fine, tall, part-chamfered, corniced diamond stacks with clay cans.

Inside, the layout consists of a rectangular-plan main house at the front, with recessed bays leading to a separate, slightly lower two-storey service wing at the rear that includes a separate stair. The interior boasts some decorative details, such as a turned stair with decorative cast iron balusters, an elliptical glazed rooflight, and several fire surrounds.

The steading is located to the west of the farmhouse and has a square plan with a piended roof. It features a single entrance with round capped ashlar entrance piers at the southeast corner and a taller two-storey former mill in the center of the west range. The former mill has small squared upper windows and three infilled cart openings. Additionally, there is a workers' cottage with a central ridge stack at the east end of the south range.
