Description
The wash-house building, located approximately 3 meters southeast of the Needless Inn Farmhouse, dates from the later 18th century or early 19th century and has been slightly altered. It is constructed of handmade brick in English garden wall bond (3+1) and features a stone slate roof. The building has a square plan oriented on an east-west axis and is partitioned one third from the east end, with a privy and store located at the rear of this partition.
This single-storey structure has a gabled front wall that includes a doorway to the left and a two-light sliding sash window next to it, both set under linked lintels. There is also a smaller two-light sliding sash window to the right, featuring glazing bars. A four-flue ridge chimney stack rises from the internal partition. On the south side, there is a doorway in the center and another at the right-hand end leading to the privy. The rear of the building has a doorway to the store, which is now covered by a shed roof.
Inside, the wash-house contains a cast-iron pump that draws water from a well in the yard, as well as a large rectangular fireplace flanked by washing boilers. This building is an unusually complete and intact example of its type.
