8/94 Haighton Top Farmhouse
II
Farmhouse, now house, substantially later C17 but incorporating remains of earlier timber-framed building, recently altered and extended. Cladding of hand-made brick on stone plinth, with 2-span slate roof. L-shaped plan formed by later addition to north side of east bay of original 2-unit house (but recently extended to make square plan). Two storeys; 2-gabled east front has round-headed doorway to right of the junction, a blank brick frame above (said to have contained carved wooden panel); to the left the gable of the front range has at ground floor a very long label over a modern 3-light casement with rendered surround, and at 1st floor a recessed 3-light window with rendered mullions and a label; to the right, 3-light casement on each floor. Chimney stack in the valley. South front has a rendered band, 2 windows at ground floor and 3 above, all 2 or 3 light casements with rendered surrounds. The interior is of greater interest, with substantial remains of former 3-bay timber-framed 2-unit house, especially at 1st floor, where the gable walls incorporate trusses which have convex braces rising from posts to ties, king posts, and angled struts, and one of 2 original intermediate trusses (lacking a king post); the chamber over the housepart has an inserted ceiling with joists supported on collars, and an inserted timber-framed partition making a passage at the top of the (re-located) staircase; the service end is partitioned axially at 1st floor (but no longer at ground floor); the chimney stack, now in the partition between the housepart and the added parlour to the north, is possibly in its original position i.e. formerly external to the north side wall. History: said to have been used as a dame school.
