Schedule 'A' To By-law 2025- 2026 Description The Roy House Farmstead at 2774 Concession Road 6 is located on the north side of Concession Road 6, east of Clemens Road, south of the Village of Tyrone in the Municipality of Clarington. The original 53.8-hectare property comprises agricultural fields, two barns, a garage, and a 1 ½-storey fieldstone farmhouse. The fieldstone house, severed from farmland, was constructed circa 1852. Physical/Design Value The farmhouse has design value as a rare example of a vernacular Georgian farmhouse with Regency/Picturesque features. The farmhouse’s 1 ½ storey massing and form is generally representative of the Georgian style popular through the late 1800s in Ontario, however, features such as the large tripartite windows, high ground floor ceilings, “Chinoiserie” patterning on the transom and sidelights of the central entrance, and its siting at the top of a gentle slope are distinctly Regency/Picturesque in their character. Another rare design choice is the use of flat brick arches over openings with wide skewbacks. The farmhouse’s field stone material is representative of a common local material, less common in other jurisdictions, and is dressed with courses every 18” or so on the façade with “boulder coins” elevating the farmhouse’s design. Historical/Associative Value The farmhouse and associated farmstead were developed by the Roy family. The Roy family emigrated from Scotland in the 1840s. William Roy purchased the property in 1845 and constructed the fieldstone farmhouse by 1852. William Roy was an active member of the local community, and the Roy family inhabited and actively farmed the property for over 130 years. Contextual Value The farmstead and surrounding agricultural fields maintain and support the rural character of the surrounding area. The farmstead contributes to an agricultural parcel fabric throughout the rural areas of the former Darlington Township that is characterized by rolling hills, farm fields and pastures, barns and other outbuildings, and 1 ½ - 2 storey farmhouses built of stone or frame. The farmstead is located to maximize views to and from the property, supporting its Regency/Picturesque attributes. It has a large setback from the roadway and a long straight drive to a cluster of buildings, with the farmhouse sitting proudly in the forefront. From the roadway, the farmhouse appears low and rectangular in a park-like setting. Description of Heritage Attributes Key exterior elements that contribute to the property’s cultural heritage value include its: • 1 ½ storey massing; • Side gable roof with original wooden eaves with returns; • Symmetrical three bay façade with centrally located front door; • Dressed broken coursed fieldstone façade with “boulder quoins”; • Minimally dressed rubblestone side and rear walls; • Original window openings with wooden sills and flat red brick arches with skewbacks; • Three original wooden vertically sliding sash windows on with 12 over 12 pattering on the ground floor of the west, north and east elevations; • Original large wooden tripartite windows with vertically sliding sash with 9 over 9 patterning on the central sashes and 3 over 3 on the side sashes on the façade; • Original door opening with flat red brick arch and skewbacks and transom and sidelights with “Chinoiserie” patterning; • Original basement window openings and with flat red brick arches and skewbacks (two in front façade, one on each side wall towards the rear); and • Picturesque landscape with farmhouse set back from the road via a long straight driveway, and surrounded by agricultural fields; Schedule 'B' To By-law 2025- 2026 Legal Description: Part of Lot 8, Concession 6 Part 1 on 40R-32799 Municipality of Clarington Regional Municipality of Durham PIN Part of 26720-0181(LT) LRO # 40 Application To Register Bylaw Receipted as DR2415634 on 2025 06 26 at 09:21 The applicant(s) hereby applies to the Land Registrar.yyyy mm dd Page 1 of 6 Properties PIN 26720 - 0181 LT Affects Part of Prop Description PT L PT LT 8 CON 6 DARLINGTON, PART 1, 40R-32799; CLARINGTON, REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF DURHAM Address 2774 CONCESSION ROAD 6 CLARINGTON Applicant(s) This Order/By-law affects the selected PINs.
