Raikes Farmhouse (England)
Show map of EnglandRaikes Farmhouse is an historic building in Thornton-Cleveleys, Lancashire, England. Replacing a building dating from at least 1595, the current structure was built in 1692,[1] with a rear extension added in the 19th century. It has been designated a Grade II listed building by Historic England.[2] The property is located on Raikes Road, just southeast of its junction (a roundabout) with Stanah Road and Hillylaid Road.
The property was renovated sometime between 2011[3] and 2019,[4] a process that removed its pebbledashing.
In 2014, a planning application was made to demolish three barns and erect six dwellings on the property, but the application was later withdrawn.[5]
An 1890 Lancashire and Yorkshire Victorian railway carriage body was acquired from the farm by Poulton & Wyre Railway Society in 2023.[6][7]
History
For much of the 20th century and the early part of the 21st century, the property was owned by the Hodgkinson family. Thomas Hodgkinson died in 2008, aged 87;[8] his wife, Eunice, died three years later.[9]
A tablet, made of sandstone, is visible on the building's right gable, with the initials "B. T. S." and the year "1692".[1]
