This is a grade 2 Listed, (c.1600) Farmhouse owned by the Dunkenhalgh estate , part altered, now unoccupied. Thin coursed
sandstone (part rendered), stone slate roof with brick chimney on ridge
at junction of 2nd and 3rd bays, large projecting chimney stack at left
gable. Unusually complete example of 3-bay baffle-entry 2-storey house
with 2-storey gabled porch, and outshut stair turret at rear. Double-
chamfered stone mullion windows with hoodmoulds (most now blocked).
Porch at junction of 2nd and 3rd bays has studded board door with
fleur-de-lys hinges, in Tudor-arched doorway with moulded surround and
large lintel enclosed by a hoodmould, and hollow-moulded coping with
kneelers and seating for finials (missing).i think its on the English Heritage's "Buildings at Risk" register.

HISTORY: I've no history on this one.perhaps someone on here can come up with some?

ENJOY
