71 and 71a Front Street, Yellow Leas Farm

Former farmhouse. Restored as part of a development on South Lane. Rendered elevations with accurate replica sash windows and door surround. Neat side offshots behind a tall original limestone wall which marked the boundary of its estate. The grassed gardens would once have been part of the linear village green. The other farm buildings have been replaced by a one-and-a-half storey red brick terrace built around a courtyard in 2000-1. Natural slate has been used for the roof and the low stable-like form with arched openings retains the agricultural feel. Two passageways link South Lane and Front Street lined with limestone boundary walls.
