Fair House Farmhouse, Grade II* listed farmhouse in Bradfield, England
Fair House Farmhouse is a three-story farmhouse in Bradfield built from local gritstone with stone slate roofing. Multiple four-light windows overlook the Dale Dike valley and surrounding countryside.
The property was originally called Swinden House in the 1630s and contains interior paneling from 1687. It survived the Great Sheffield Flood in 1864.
The farmhouse shows how traditional English farming families organized their homes with practical spaces and local building materials. Its design reflects the way country people lived and worked in past centuries.
The building is protected and preserves its original oak staircase, stone steps, and interior wall panels that cannot be modified without special permits. Access to this private property is restricted and visitors should check ahead for viewing opportunities.
The main facade faces away from Annet Lane with Grade II listed stable and garage structures extending westward at right angles to the main building. This unusual positioning reflects how working farms organized their buildings for practical farmyard functions.
