Waggoner Tunstead Farmhouse

Waggoner Tunstead Farmhouse is a large farmhouse, dated 1632 on the lintel of a rear doorway. It has been extended, altered, and recently renovated. The construction is of coursed sandstone, with quoins, and has stone slate roofs with gable copings, along with a chimney stack on the rear ridge. The building’s layout consists of a two-bay range, a two-bay crosswing to its left side – incorporating the front and rear doorways and with a separate roof – and a single-bay rear wing attached to the second bay. There is also a basement storey at the right end.

The gable wall of the crosswing features a Tudor-arched doorway within an integral porch on the right, and double-chamfered stone mullion windows with hoodmoulds on each floor, of 4 and 5 lights (a window on the first floor being an insertion). The ground floor to the right has a similar 6-light window with a hollow chamfer, alongside modern coupled cross windows. The first floor has flush-mullion windows of 4, 5, 5, and 5 lights. The left side wall of the crosswing has a 3-light window on each floor of the front bay, alongside a restored stepped, 5-light flush mullion window on each floor of the rear bay. The rear gable wall of the wing has a wide doorway with moulded jambs and a large lintel lettered in relief: "IT.1632.IE .IS" (with the letter 'S' reversed), a 3-light double-chamfered stone mullion window at ground floor, and a 4-light chamfered mullion window with a double recessed head on the first floor. The right return wall of the main range features small chamfered windows on each floor and within the gable, with a wing continuing this wall possessing a chamfered 5-light mullion window to the basement, a double-chamfered 6-light mullion window with a triple-recessed head at ground floor, and a 2-light flush mullion window above. The rear gable of the wing has a door inserted into part of a flush mullion window, a small chamfered window to the right, and two double chamfered mullion windows with triple recessed heads and hoodmoulds, of 6 and 2 lights, on the first floor. A small chamfered stairlight is located within the re-entrant angle of the wing.

The interior features a through passage within the wing, now used as a staircase. The housepart has a diamond-flagged floor and a large stone arched fireplace with a moulded surround and cambered head (formed of two blocks). There are also two large beams with tongue-stopped chamfer carrying scored joists, and two kingpost roof trusses (one of which is now incorporated into a wall).
