HEAPEY SD 62 SW 6/109B Lower House Fold Farmhouse with adjoining barn at with adjoining barn at SD 616 204 - II

Farmhouse, formerly dated 1692 on worn datestone, altered; with attached barn containing a cruck truss which is probably medieval. House of coursed squared sandstone with quoins, slate roof with brick gable chimneys. Two-bay end-baffle-entry plan with added rear outshut. Two storeys; doorway at right hand end, with hoodmould over rectangular lintel; above and to the left a worn datestone (legible when first listed, with date 1692); 2 windows at ground floor, both with hoodmoulds and both formerly of 4 recessed lights with mullions but now 2-light casements; 2 similarly altered 2-light windows at 1st floor, a round-headed blocked window between these and an inserted window above the door. Left gable wall has a 2-light window with chamfered mullion at ground floor, another above with a hoodmould, and a round-headed blocked attic light also with a hoodmould; outshut has inter alia a chamfered flush mullion 2-light window at 1st floor of this side, and a door in the rear. Interior: inglenook fireplace with chamfered bressummer; 2 stop-chamfered beams supported on the bressummer. Barn attached at west end, of coursed rubble, undergoing conversion as dwelling at time of survey (1985) contains a full cruck truss of large scantling, the steeply-cambered tie-beam and finely-carpentered arch braces to this forming a continuous rounded arch, with chamfered soffit: the purpose of this structure is not known, but it bears a crude resemblance to a truss in the hall of the former Radcliffe Tower, illustrated in Whitaker's History of Whalley p.291. History: not known, but perhaps associated with Stanlaw Abbey, which acquired lands in Heapey, Withnell and Wheelton in early C13, together with millpool and millstream: item is close to site of mill on Brinscall Brook, and to area known as Monks Hill, Wheelton CP. See VCH VI pp.47-50.
