| courtesy of English Heritage | ||
| Farmhouse with attached store (probably formerly house). Probably late C17 (contains cupboard dated 1675), mostly remodelled, with addition, in C19. Roughly coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, the front of the main range roughcast and painted; stone slate roof. T-plan formed by 2-unit main range (remodelled in C19) on north-south axis with C17 outshut to rear of northern unit and store continued at north end. | ||
| EXTERIOR: main range, 2 storeys and 3 windows, almost symmetrical, has central doorway with pentice canopy, 4-pane sash to left, coupled 4-pane sashes to right, three 4-pane sashes above, and gable chimney to left. Earlier portion to right, 2 higher storeys, has one 4-pane sash on each floor close to the junction, blocked doorway to right of this, 2 windows to the right, the second smaller and now blocked (perhaps a former fire-window); and gable chimneys. Rear: prominent outshut of 2 low storeys has 3 former 2-light mullioned windows with chamfered surrounds but lacking mullions: one on each floor to the left and a stair-window to the right, the upper with 12-pane fixed glazing and the others with stone-slate drip-bands. Store to left has (inter alia) a tall round-headed doorway and an altered square window above. | ||
| INTERIOR: housepart in 2nd bay has large built-in cupboard with one large 2-panel door on butterfly hinges and above this a small square carved door with raised lettering "MT 1675" over a decorated diamond (perhaps a re-located spice cupboard door). | ||

| BARN APPROXIMATELY 30 METRES SOUTH OF SCOTCHERGILL FARMHOUSE / / / DENT / SOUTH LAKELAND / CUMBRIA / II / 484368 / SD7198987035 | ||
| courtesy of English Heritage | ||
| Small barn or shippon. Probably mid to late C17. Slobbered mixed random rubble with quoins, graduated stone slate roof with wrestler-slates to the ridge. Rectangular plan (probably 2 structural bays) on north-south axis, facing west. The west front has a roughly segmental-headed shippon doorway to the left, with rubble voussoirs and a board door, a square window in the centre with stone slate sill and lintel and a small square window above that, the left half blocked. (A recent addition at the left end, with rubble walls and corrugated sheet roof, is not of special interest.) The south gable wall has through-stones on 2 levels; and the rear wall has a few very small breathers. | ||
| INTERIOR: not inspected. | ||
| HISTORICAL NOTE: the wrestler slates of the roof are an extremely rare survival; probably unique in the areas covered by this list. Note: this is the barn described as "west" of the farmhouse in the former list description. | ||
