Gauged tooled sandstone surrounds to square-headed openings to ground floor. Timber battened doors and timber-framed windows to openings. Gauged tooled sandstone three-centred-arch openings, some having timber battened doors. Square-headed window openings to north-east elevation of outbuilding with tooled sandstone surrounds, sills, hood-mouldings and paired timber-framed pointed windows. Carved robin to hood-moulding to ground floor. Rubble stone wall enclosing yard, recent gateway flanked by round-plan stone piers having render capping and ball finials.
Appraisal
This farmyard is notable for the quality of the L-plan outbuilding that displays good masonry details and a variety of openings. The hood-mouldings to the gable reflects the design of the house, and the carving of a robin is a pleasantly surprising artistic embellishment. The retention of pointed-arch window frames adds considerably to the interest of the building. Together with the house this farmyard forms a notable group in the local landscape.
