Winewall Farmhouse

The group of three houses, comprising a cottage (No. 29), a farmhouse (No. 31), and another cottage (No. 33), dates primarily to the first half of the 17th century, with a porch added in 1690 and a further addition around 1800. The construction is of coursed rubble sandstone, with the 18th-century addition being watershot and all but the porch now painted. The roof is covered in stone slates.

No. 29, the cottage on the left, dates to around 1800 and features large quoins to the left. It has a doorway to the right of a three-light mullioned window on each floor, all set within square-faced surrounds. Shaped kneelers and gable copings are present to the left, alongside a painted end stack. No. 31 and No. 33, originally a single house, demonstrate the earlier 17th-century construction.

The two-storey porch to the left of No. 31 has a part-glazed door within a moulded surround featuring a cusped lintel dated ‘RMM 1690’ and a dripstone. Flanking columns are adorned with flutes and pronounced entasis, supporting a superimposed order with crude Ionic capitals. Above the door is a three-light window with ovolo-moulded mullions, a taller, round-headed central light, and a moulded pulvinated entablature. A gable lozenge is covered by a hoodmould, accompanied by shaped kneelers, moulded gable copings, and an apex finial. A sexfoil is recessed under a hoodmould on the left side. The windows to the right of the porch have hollow-chamfered mullioned lights under a continuous hoodmould, which also covers a triangular-headed doorway to No. 33 and two shorter windows of a similar type. The first floor features two two-light windows to No. 31, and three to No. 33. Gable copings and an end stack are on the right of No. 33; party-wall ridge stacks are also present.

Inside the porch, a studded door is situated under a Tudor arch. Oak ceiling beams are visible, although not fully inspected. The initials "RMM" on the porch datestone are believed to represent Robert and Mary Midgeley who married in 1683.
