Daverneithen, including attached farm ranges

Daverneithen is a two-storey, three-window house dating from the 18th century, with attached farm ranges. The main house has rendered walls, a renewed slate roof, and gable stacks. The central entrance now has an added gabled porch with half-glazed doors. It is flanked by segmental-headed four-pane sash windows. Upper-storey windows are situated beneath the eaves, including a three-light iron-frame window in the centre and to the left, and a four-pane sash window to the right. A lower, former farm building, converted into a garage with a steel door, is set back against the right gable end; it has weatherboarded fronting, a rubble stone gable end, and a slate roof. The left gable end has been pebble-dashed. A lean-to is situated to the left of the stack, with a pebble-dashed stack against the rear outshut. A continuous rear outshut has replaced and enlarged windows, and includes an added further outshut in the centre and a flat-pitched extension further to the left. Behind the shed attached to the house are two lean-to pigsties with boarded doors, and walled pens with later concrete coping.

To the left angles of the house is an early 19th-century barn and cow house constructed of rubble stone, with a weatherboarded loft and slate roof. Facing the yard, it has full-height double boarded barn doors on the right and three boarded doors to the cow house further to the left. The cow house has two shuttered loft openings and another boarded door at the left end, leading to the bull house. A hay store is at the end of the range. The rear elevation, where the loft is corrugated iron, includes an added central lean-to brick calf pen with a boarded shutter to the manure-pitching hole and a ventilation strip. To the left of the calf pen is a shuttered pitching hole and boarded doors to the barn. To the right of the lean-to is a boarded cow house door and a shuttered pitching hole to the bull house.

To the right angles on the right side of the house is a later cow house for loose cattle and calves, and a root store, partly weatherboarded on a brick sill, with rubble stone at the end, all under a single slate roof. Facing the yard are a boarded door to the “byng” and a cow house door to the right; immediately adjacent to the cow house door is another boarded door to the root store. In the rubble stone section, there is a boarded door to a cow house and calf pen, with blue-brick jambs. The rear has a single manure-pitching hole. The building was not inspected internally.
