BURNLEY
SD83SW HOWORTH ROAD, Burnley Wood 906-1/3/168 (West side) 29/09/77 Lower Howorth Fold Farmhouse
GV II
Farmhouse (probably part of a formerly larger building); now house. Probably earlier C17, with additions of C18 and C19 (dated 1777 on lintel of doorway); altered, and a C20 swimming pool recently added at the north end. Sandstone, the main range rendered and the additions of coursed rubble with quoins, all painted white (with dressings painted black); stone slate roof. PLAN: unusual plan of 2 unequal units which appear to have been built at different times, with a short parallel wing added to the front of the larger southern unit (probably in the C18) and a service wing added to the rear of the northern unit (probably in the C19). EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, including a full basement to the northern unit, 1:2 windows. The southern unit of the main range has a moulded Tudor-arched doorway close to the angle with the wing, with a plain surround and large lettering inscribed on the lintel "H / G E 1777", and a studded board door, a small oblong 2-light window to the right with a chamfered flush mullion, and a recessed 2-light casement with chamfered surround immediately under the eaves; the northern unit has double-chamfered mullioned windows to all 3 levels: 2 and 3 lights at basement level, 6-lights to the raised ground floor, with a hood-mould, and 4 lights at 1st floor. The front wall of the wing has one recessed 4-light window on each floor, both with ovolo-moulded mullions (probably re-used). Gable chimney to left, ridge chimney at junction. Rear: the southern unit has a king-mullioned window of 3+3 lights at ground floor and a 4-light window above, both with chamfered flush mullions; and the north side of the rear wing has a 3-light flush-mullioned window at 1st floor. INTERIOR: the northern unit has the ground floor raised approximately 1m, below this a full basement with some timber-framed wattle-and-daub partitioning; and at 1st floor a pair of massive crudely-chamfered axial beams, and a cupboard recess in the chimney stack, with a moulded plaster surround; the southern unit has a similar pair of beams at ground floor. Forms group with Howorth Fold Poultry Farmhouse to the north (qv).
