| Farmhouse. Dated 1690 on porch; enlarged and altered. Roughly coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, remains of whitewash, stone slate roof. Broad irregular L-plan formed by wide single-depth 2-unit main range on east-west axis with very wide rear wing. | ||
| EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and 4 windows (grouped 1:3); with a stone-slate course over the ground floor to the right. In the centre is a single-storey gabled porch with a dressed stone lintel (apparently re-set) which has a panel at each end containing raised lettering "IBM" and a stylised figure to the left and "1690" to right; in front of the porch is a semicircular step and a pebble pavement including a quartered square pattern. To the left the ground floor has a 6-pane hornless sashed window, and to the right a similar 6-pane sash and a 4-pane horned sash. The 1st floor has a 2-light casement to the left, 2 similar casements to the right and a narrow 1-light window further right. Large square gable chimneys with cylindrical shafts, that to the left topping a prominently extruded and stepped stack and that to the right corbelled. The broad gable of the rear wing has a blocked 2-light mullioned stair-window at ground floor to the right, a partial course of through-stones above this, a square 4-pane sashed window offset right of centre at 1st floor and the corbelled base of a former apex chimney. To the left a tall square chimney corbelled from 1st floor, with 2 slate courses and a tall cylindrical shaft (its function in this position not known). | ||
| INTERIOR: housepart to right (with C19 partition to form entrance passage) has 2 lateral beams (boxed) and large C18 rectangular stone fireplace with a massive lintel which has carving in the centre (possibly a stylised tree) and dentilled cornice, and is furnished with a later C19 oven-and-boiler range. Parlour to left has C18 fielded panel door with H-L hinges, inserted stone partition wall parallel with rear wall, and C18 curved corner cupboard; staircase, entered by C18 door like that to parlour and formerly lit by blocked 2-light mullioned window at half-landing, is dog-legged, with closed string and turned balusters. Apart from altered glazing to the windows, an unusually complete example of a larger Dales farmhouse, retaining all its cylindrical chimney shafts and good interior features. Forms group with barn approx. 10m south-west (qv). | ||
