Description

Halghton Forge is a 2-storey, 2-window house built of brick, featuring a slate roof with dentil eaves and rebuilt brick end stacks. The central entrance includes a boarded door situated under a gabled canopy supported by brackets. The windows are 2-light casements with segmental heads on the lower storey. An inserted window can be found in the left gable end, lower down. At the back, there is a 1½-storey wing that has a 2-window side wall and two attic windows in the gable end, all of which are 2-light casements. This wing is connected to later additions that extend across the rear of the forge.

Adjacent to the right gable end of the house is a 1-storey former stable and forge. This structure features a 3-light window on the left side, which was previously the door to the stable, and two 2-light windows further to the right. The rear of the forge has a large lateral stack that has been reduced in size, along with an added conservatory.

The house follows a 2-unit plan, with the larger room located on the right side. At the back of this room, there is a closed-string staircase. Additionally, the structure of one hearth has been preserved in the former forge.
