Pair of cottages added to the former Royle Hall (demolished in mid C20), with extensions, and now integrated as a farmhouse. Probably earlier and later C18; altered. Watershot coursed squared sandstone with quoins (the south gable now rendered), stone slate roof. PLAN: 3-unit double-depth plan consisting of a former pair of single-fronted cottages facing west with an addition at the north end and extensions to the rear. EXTERIOR: 2 low storeys, with a 2-window west front (the extension to the left having no windows at 1st floor). The 2-unit main range has quoins at the junction with the extension and ragged masonry at the right-hand corner (where it was linked to the former hall); each former cottage has a doorway to the right, both with plain surrounds, that to the right-hand cottage now protected by a gabled porch with a round-headed arch and gable coping with kneelers and ball finials (the left side of this porch overlapping the left jamb of the doorway), and the other doorway now blocked; each also had coupled rectangular windows at ground floor, that to the right-hand cottage with a plain surround and a square-cut flush mullion and now with 9-pane top-hung casements, and that to the left with the left light blocked and the other enlarged; and at 1st floor each has a 3-light mullioned window with square-cut mullions, a metal-framed casement in the centre and diamond-lattice glazing. The extension to the left has two 9-pane top-hung casements at ground floor. The whole range has ridge chimneys at both junctions and gable chimneys at both ends. The right-hand gable wall incorporates a fine early C17 segmental-arched fireplace approx 3 metres wide, with a round-headed arch to its left, both with moulded surrounds. The rear has (inter alia) an ex situ C17 2-light mullioned window at 1st floor with ovolo mullion. INTERIOR not inspected.
