SK05NW BUXTON ROAD 611-1/2/23 (South East side) Edge End Farmhouse
II
Farmhouse. Originally possibly C16 or earlier. Remodelled early C19, and subsequently. Originally cruck-framed, the lower walls are roughly coursed and squared sandstone, raised in brick. Plain-tiled roof. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, 3-window range. 2-unit plan, the present doorway leading to stair-hall between the 2 units, the original end lobby entrance now an internal doorway against the heck-wall of the principal fireplace. Plain stone architrave to doorway, with 2-light unchamfered mullioned window (possibly C18) to its left. Early C20 casement window of 2 lights to right. Gabled dormers to attic possibly of similar date. Single-storey wing, also coursed and squared stone projects to right, and later C19 brick wing added to rear. Rear elevation contains one early (C17) plain chamfered mullioned window. Gable walls retain lines of early gable (relating to a single-storeyed building), rendered over on S gable, but with moulded kneelers clearly visible. INTERIOR: one cruck frame survives intact, and the lower portion of a further pair of blades forms the basis of a fire-bay, carrying the bressumer, and linked to the heck-wall. It seems likely that the crucks represent all that is left of an original timber-framed building, subsequently encased in stonework, although it is possible that both stonework and crucks relate to the same phase of construction (neither of the crucks form exterior walls, and the sectional form of the stone-work is consistent with that formed by the crucks). Chamfered and stopped spine-beam in parlour, roughly chamfered spine-beam in principal room; both have chamfered and stopped joists.
