This is Blakenhall Farmhouse, which is listed at Grade II.[4] Grade II is the lowest of the three gradings given to listed buildings and is granted to "buildings of national importance and special interest".[5] The farmhouse dates from the 17th century, and is constructed in brick with a tiled roof. It is in two storeys, and has a three-bay entrance front with three gabled dormers. Inside the farmhouse is an inglenook with a bressumer.[4]
