Description

Wrigleyfold Farmhouse and two adjoining cottages date back to 1707 and 1738, as indicated by the inscriptions "IWA 1738" and "IWA 1707" on the door lintels. The buildings are constructed from squared rubble and feature graduated stone slate roofs. The central range, originally built in 1707, is two stories and has been extended to both the right and left in 1738 and later.

The central range includes an ovolo-moulded door surround on the right, along with two and four-light double-chamfered stone mullion windows on each floor. The right addition from 1738 features a similar door surround and has three, four, and five-light flat-faced stone mullion windows, although one window has had two mullions removed and another has two lights blocked. The left addition is taller and serves as a separate cottage, featuring a three-light flat-faced mullion window on each floor, a plain door surround, and blocked attic gable lights. The rear of the building has various two and three-light flat-faced and recessed windows, along with three doors.
