Farmhouses in EnglandGrade II* listed buildings in North YorkshireHouses completed in 1749

Street Farmhouse is a historic building in Glaisdale, a valley in North Yorkshire, in England. The farmhouse was built in 1749, and is described by the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England as "perhaps the earliest freestanding centralised plan yeoman farmhouse in the region". It originally had mullioned windows, a late example of the technique, although many were replaced by sash windows in the 19th century. The building was grade II* listed in 1969, along with its outbuildings. The farmhouse is built of sandstone on a plinth, with quoins, a floor band, a coved cornice, and a purple slate roof with stone copings and kneelers. It has two storeys and is three bays wide. The central doorway has a chamfered surround, alternating -block jambs, and a keystone flanked by incised scrolls. Above it is a round-headed window with a fluted keystone and moulded imposts. Elsewhere, some three-light chamfered and mullioned windows survive. To the left is a two-storey outhouse, and beyond is a lower stable with two doors. Inside, there is a wide central passageway through the whole depth of the building, containing an early staircase. Many original moulded beams and joists are visible on the ground floor, while in the ground floor left-hand room, there is a stone fire hood with columns.

Lealholm
Lealholm

Lealholm is a small village in the Glaisdale civil parish, in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It is sited at a crossing point of the River Esk, in Eskdale which is within the North York Moors National Park. It is 9.5 miles (15.3 km) by road from the nearest town of Whitby, and approximately 27 miles (43 km) from both Middlesbrough and Scarborough. The village is typical of those found all across the North York Moors which straddle the main through-routes along the valley bottoms. It is mostly built of local stone with pantiled or slate roofs. Settlement around modern-day Lealholm can be traced back to the Domesday Book of 1086, with entries concerning the Manor of Crumbeclive and "Lelum" at the site of Lealholm Hall, Lealholmside. Lealholmside is a hamlet by Lealholm, and was a popular location with the photographer Francis Meadow Sutcliffe. A honeypot during the summer months, Lealholm is located midway along the Esk valley between the villages of Glaisdale, to the east and Danby to the west. Lealholm is on the route of the Esk valley railway line, which runs from Whitby to Middlesbrough, and is served by Lealholm railway station. A large part of the community is involved in farming due to the high fertility of the slopes in Eskdale, whilst other members of the community are involved in tourism or commute to industrial centres such as Middlesbrough. This led to the economy of the area being hard hit by the 2001 UK foot and mouth crisis. Lealhom was a place of affection for Irish-born poet John Castillo, who wrote "Ah lovely Lealholm! Where shall I begin. To say what thou art now and once hast been?".
