Wallcroft Farmhouse

Wallcroft Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 17th century and altered and enlarged in the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with quoins and has a stone slate roof. The building features a three-bay baffle-entry plan with an addition to the front of the first bay and lean-to additions to the rear. It stands two and a half storeys tall, with a two-storey addition to the first bay that has dressed long-and-short quoins and one vertical rectangular window on each floor, both with plain surrounds. The openings in the facade to the right are alterations, including a doorway with a plain surround next to the addition, a 4-light casement window in the middle bay, a square window in the third bay, and two similar windows above, all of which are in the remains of former mullioned windows. There is patched masonry above the door and a small dormer in the eaves.

The left return wall has altered mullioned windows on each floor, while the right gable features a 3-light attic window with chamfered flush mullions. The rear of the building is mostly covered by additions, but each floor of the third bay has a 3-light window with cavetto mullions, with the lower window covered by a glazed porch.

Inside, the principal feature of interest is the framed newel staircase located in the rear of the third bay. This staircase has a moulded string, panelled newels with ball finials and a pendant, and open twisted balusters alternating with turned ones, topped with a moulded handrail. Additionally, the housepart in the second bay includes a large inglenook with a stone heck and a chamfered bressumer, along with one lateral beam featuring stopped ovolo moulding. The infilled collar roof truss has two pairs of purlins that appear to be raised on dorsals, suggesting that the roof was formerly more steeply pitched. There is a cellar beneath the staircase, now filled up, which was said to have connected with a tunnel.
