Wyke House

Wyke House is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with 19th-century alterations and a 20th-century addition to the rear. It is constructed of red brick in English garden wall bond and has a concrete tile roof. The layout consists of three rooms with a central lobby entry and a stair hall to the center left. The building is two stories high and has four symmetrical bays.

The entrance features a mid to late 19th-century doorcase with panelled and fluted pilasters, an entablature with a dentilled cornice and hood, an ornate panelled door, and a plain overlight in a panelled reveal. The ground floor has 12-pane sash windows in wooden architraves with sills, topped with 19th-century keyed stucco flat arches. The first floor has similar sashes beneath original painted rubbed-brick flat arches. A 19th-century wooden eaves board and bracketed gutter are present, along with tumbled-in brick gables featuring 19th-century stone coping. There is a 20th-century axial stack and an end stack to the right, and an attic window with 20th-century glazing on the left return.

Inside, there is an open well staircase with a ramped handrail and column balusters, and a moulded cornice in the stair hall. The room to the rear right has a ribbed cornice and frieze, with elliptical-arched alcoves flanking the fireplace, and doors in architraves with roundel ornament and cornices. Panelled window shutters and doors are also present, although the interior has not been fully investigated. The house was formerly known as Greenshaw House, and John Greenshaw was living there in 1768.
