Fridd Farm

Fridd Farm is a two-storey farmhouse with a single-storey service wing to the rear, and a later gabled porch at the central entrance. A cartshed is located at the lower level of the west end, alongside a single-storey outbuilding range set at right angles to the rear. The cartshed has been partly incorporated into the main house, and the outbuilding range likely served as a former cowhouse.

The farmhouse is constructed of roughly coursed masonry with long lateral stones alternating with boulders, large stones serving as quoins and lintels. The rear wall reveals this construction clearly. The roof is covered in small slates with gable copings of large stones. The front and gable walls have been extensively repointed. The house and service wing have substantial rectangular stone stacks with dripstones and a dripcourse below chevroned capping. Additional stacks are located in the southwest angle between the house and service wing, and behind the cartshed, the latter featuring a natural stone hood.

The main front has a symmetrical three-window arrangement of widely spaced 16-pane horned sash windows. A half-glazed door sits within a gabled porch, above a small overlight with glazing bars. The rear elevation features 12-pane horned sash windows on the first floor, small top-hung casement windows at ground floor level to the west of the service wing, and a large modern fixed light window with 12 or 15 panes to the east. The service wing has modern, small-paned casements in its side walls, and a doorway is set in the southeast angle.

The former cartshed has a wide doorway offset to the east end of its front elevation. A stack is located at the east end to the rear, with a single six-pane casement window in a gabled dormer that breaks the eaves line on the right.

The porch has stone slab seats along its side walls. The house follows a cross passage plan, leading through to the service wing at the rear. The ground floor rooms have flagstone floors, the hallway features moulded beams, and the flanking rooms have large chamfered cross beams and exposed joists. The kitchen has been modernised but retains a brick oven within a large inglenook.
