Description
Wackerfield Hall is a farmhouse built around 1840. It features colourwashed rough render with a painted ashlar plinth and painted tooled ashlar dressings. The roof is made of Welsh slate, with stone gable copings, brick chimneys, and a bellcote that has ashlar dressings. The building is L-shaped, with two storeys and three bays, plus a slightly lower, set-back left wing that has two storeys and one bay.
The central entrance consists of a four-panel door with an overlight, set within a doorcase that includes pilasters and an entablature. The windows are 12-pane sashes, with the ground floor windows being larger, featuring wedge stone lintels and projecting stone sills. The left wing has similar windows. The low-pitched roofs are adorned with elaborately-shaped gable kneelers, and the chimneys at the ends of the main house and the rear of the wing are ashlar-banded. The bellcote on the left return gable of the wing has a keyed round-headed ashlar arch.
On the right return, there is a corniced canted ground-floor bay window and a first-floor 12-pane sash at the rear of the gable. The rear of the building displays a two-light horizontal sliding sash on the ground floor to the left, a round-headed stair sash with patterned glazing bars, and one first-floor 12-pane sash. Some of the other windows have been renewed.
