Description
Wearden House is a farmhouse built in the mid to late 19th century. It is constructed of brick with sandstone dressings and has a slate roof. The building features a double-depth, three-bay plan and stands two storeys tall with a symmetrical facade. The corners are pilastered, and there is a stone plinth and band, along with a moulded stone eaves cornice. The central entrance has a panelled door topped by a segmental fanlight with radiating glazing bars, framed by a stone doorcase with attached Tuscan columns and a cornice. On the ground floor, there are two 16-pane sashed windows, with three additional sashed windows above. The house is capped with gable chimneys.
