Wall Farmhouse

Wall Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse constructed primarily of handmade brick, with some stone quoins on the porch and left corner. It has a slate roof with a double chimney stack behind the ridge towards the left, and a right gable chimney. The farmhouse demonstrates an early example of a double-depth, four-room plan, incorporating a projecting porch and a lateral passage leading to the staircase. The building is two storeys high with an attic and cellar, and is largely symmetrical aside from the window arrangement.

The full-height gabled porch features an arched doorway, which may have been altered, and a studded inner door. Above the doorway is a first-floor window consisting of three pointed lights, with labels featuring double-returned ends over both. A sash window is located to the left of the porch, while the later insertion of sliding sash windows are present at the first floor on each side of the porch. Evidence of former brick-mullion windows remains: two two-light windows with labels are visible on each floor to the left, and two three-light windows with linked labels are present at ground floor to the right. Both return walls have similar two-light windows on all floors, including the attic.

Inside, large beams are found in all rooms; those in the front left room have cyma-stopped rounded chamfers, and those in the two rooms to the right are supported by unusual tapered strengtheners. A massive chimney stack is located at the first floor, corbelled out in the roof space above, and a principal rafter roof truss is infill with wattle-and-daub. Fragments of diamond-leaded glazing remain in the blocked attic windows.
