II
House, now divided as two dwellings. Render over stone with slate hanging to rear and Welsh slate and stone flagged roofs. Probably in origin C17 (with a previous building on the site), but extended and remodelled subsequently.
EXTERIOR: two storeys, principal elevation a five window range. Extent of C17 building unclear, but rear wing to south-west and a range parallel to the garden front range seem the earliest parts of the present building. Both have stone flagged roofs, and there is four-light mullioned window on each floor, apparently C17, in the rear wing. The garden range is itself built in two phases, the earlier represented by the three window range to north-east. Three four-light mullioned windows to first floor, and the square bay window and four-light mullioned window to ground floor all appear to be C19. Present entrance in gable wall. This range extended probably during the later C19 by a two window range to the south-west, with similar windows, and a doorway to its right. A further rear wing, parallel to the earlier wing, was added mid-late C19: two storey, three window range with two-pane sashes. Moulded eaves cornice and blocking course. Various lean-to additions against rear walls probably also mid-late C19.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
HISTORY: the house is believed to have been the home farm to Smithills hall in the C16, to have been occupied during the civil war by Thomas Lightbounds, and in the C18 by the Ainsworth family who used the adjacent park as a bleaching ground.
