Gable view of the farmhouse at Pontop
This is Pontop Pike Farm, south of Dipton village and at 312m (over 1000 ft), the highest farm in the area. The gable view shows a common feature of these old early 19th century farmhouse, that is, the fact that they commonly have a single storey extension to the rear, with the roof sloped down over this. A catslide roof is the term for this feature.

Farmhouse at Pontop Pike Farm
This farm dates back to the late C18 or early C19, after the Lanchester Commons Enclosure Act of 1773 when a lot of the local farms were established on the former common. At nearly 1000ft on top of Pontop Pike it must be a tough place to farm.
