Arnford Farmhouse

Arnford Farmhouse is a historic building in Hellifield, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The farmhouse was constructed in about 1700 as a pair of mirror-image semi-detached houses. Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as "a very remarkable building", and Joan Thirsk argues that it must have been constructed by two heirs to shares of the estate. In the 20th century, the two houses were combined, and in 1958, the building was grade II* listed. The building is constructed of stone with millstone grit dressings, and a stone slate roof with kneelers. It has two storeys and is eight bays wide. Each house has a plinth, and contains a central doorway with a moulded surround, a pulvinated frieze and a moulded hood. It contains cross windows with hood moulds, and a gabled dormer with a chamfered mullioned window, a kneeler and a spike finial. Inside, there is an inglenook fireplace.
