Yard House

The house is rubble sandstone with limestone dressings and chimneys and a slate roof. It is a two-storey gabled building with end chimneys and a lean-to on the west gable. Two bays to the north elevation have tall windows with segmental arches. The upstairs left window has a small-paned timber sash, three panes by three. Downstairs there is a later sash with marginal glazing bars, three panes by two. In the centre of the ground floor two small casement windows lit both stairs from a single opening. A similar pattern of windows is found on the south elevation, but there are two doors at the centre, one formerly giving onto the office and the other to the manager's house. The lean-to on the west has been partially rebuilt: the stone part was the stable, and the brick part replaces the weighbridge house. The weighbridge was in the track outside.
