Altcar Farmhouse and barn with 2/102 screen wall between 17.4.1967 - II

Farmhouse and barn linked by a screen wall, probably later C18. House of brick with slate roof is double-pile,2 bays, 2 storeys; barn of C18 brick with slate roof has diamond-pattern ventilation openings on 2 levels; but the feature of special interest is the decorative effect of their north gables and the linking wall. Gables have tall blind Gothic arches, and crow-stepped parapets with crocketed finials at the apex; the wall of coursed sandstone is embattled, and has a crow-stepped parapet above an arched Gothic doorway with a hoodmould. Probably intended as ornamental feature of view from Worden Hall, in Leyland CP.
