4/2 Lower Micklehurst Farmhouse
-
- II

Farmhouse, or possibly surviving wing of originally larger house, probably
late C16. Whitewashed render on sandstone with quoins, stone slate roof
with one ridge chimney stack and later chimney to east side wall. Two
unequal units on north-south axis, the shorter north unit (possibly an early
addition) having a short projection to the east side. Two storeys, with
large single-storey kitchen wing added to south end of west side wall, one
entrance through flat-roofed porch attached to this, another by door in
north gable wall. Externally the principal features of interest are
recessed cavetto-mullioned windows in both gables and west side wall: in
south gable at ground floor 6 round-headed lights with hollow spandrels and
at 1st floor 5 square-headed lights, both these with hoodmoulds; matching
these in west side one 3-light window on each floor of middle bay (without
hoodmoulds); and in north gable a window of 5 square-headed lights at ground
floor, another at 1st floor offset to the right and a 3-light window on a
lower level to the left (suggesting stairlight); to right of ground floor
window a heightened doorway with chamfered surround. On east side all
openings are modern insertions except small splayed light at south end of
1st floor. Interior: in south bay 2 large stop-chamfered lateral beams on
moulded stone corbels, in north bay one chamfered beam on the axis; at 1st
floor a way doorway through thick stone internal partition wall from east
projection of north bay; 2 kingpost roof trusses with raked struts, 2 pairs
of trenched purlins with stopped chamfer.
