5/91 Haighton Hall Farmhouse

GV II

Farmhouse, probably c.1700, altered. Mostly watershot coursed sandstone
with quoins, some channelled ashlar and some brick, slate roof.
Unorthodox (or altered) plan, consisting of roughly square double-depth
3-bay main range, with a single-bay gabled wing continued from the south
gable. All 2½ storeys, of unusual height. Present front on east side,
almost symmetrical, has a rectangular doorway offset left containing a
recessed doorcase and glazed door, and 2 large 3-light chamfered mullion
windows on each floor; the south gable has a late-C17 type doorway with
moulded surround and shaped lintel, a small 2-light mullioned attic window
in the gable, and attached to the left hand side, slightly overlapping the
jamb of the doorway, a 2½ storey gabled wing, the re-entrant wall of
scored render, the gable of channelled ashlar with one window on each
floor, of 3, 3, and 2 lights (like those of the front), and the rear, of
sandstone rubble, a large external chimney stack and a 2-light window at
ground floor. To the left of this the rear wall of the main range has
chamfered-mullion stairlight windows, the lowest (offset to the right) of
2 lights, the others of 3, and the upper of these smaller with glazing
bars; further left 2 altered windows on each floor, and a cut-down chimney
between them. North gable wall is stepped, the set-back part finished in
brick, and has a moulded doorway to the house, and a mono-pitch roofed
single storey extension entered by a doorway with Tudor-arched lintel; and
a gable chimney. Interior: apparently altered, but contains full-height
doglegged staircase with closed string, turned balusters and newels, broad
handrail.
