Farmhouse, also known as Orrell's Farmhouse, probably early C17,
altered, now house. Coursed sandstone rubble on base of 2 courses of
larger blocks, with some quoins, slate roof with a chimney at the left
gable and another behind the ridge. Three-bay plan (but possibly
originally only 2), with outshut to left of 1st bay and continued beyond
it, and another to rear of 1st and 2nd bays. Two storeys (some evidence
at rear that walls have been raised); at junction of 1st and 2nd bays
is a doorway with plain C18-type surround, and left of this a similar
doorway now blocked and altered as a window, under a large cambered
lintel with chamfered soffit; to the right the 2nd bay has a large
6-light double-chamfered stone-mullion window with a hoodmould and
3rd bay has a similar but smaller 3-light window; at 1st floor there
is a round-headed light above the blocked door in the 1st bay, and 3
other windows now all casements in chamfered square openings. Interior:
original stone heck with peephole, 2 original roof trusses with very
large cambered tie-beams, blocked old windows in rear wall; otherwise
altered.
