Wine Beck Farmhouse

Wine Beck Farmhouse is a house dating from 1733, built by Thomas and Elizabeth Topham, who were tanners. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof, and features quoins. The house originally comprised two rooms at the front, with rear wings set at right angles. The symmetrical front facade has three bays and includes an entrance with a wooden doorcase added in the mid-20th century, featuring fluted pilasters, an open pediment, and a date plaque set in a cable-moulded surround. Above the entrance is a single window to the first floor. The windows are 4-light, flat-faced, mullioned with raised stone surrounds, recessed mullions, and inner chamfers. The gables have coped verges with kneelers, and there is a central stack. The rear elevation has two coped gables, kneelers and a mix of 3-light windows, with a 2-light window at mezzanine level to illuminate the stair.

Inside, the lobby entrance is positioned against the fire-stack. The westernmost room contains a fine segmental-arched fireplace constructed of two stones and joggled keystones, with raised panelled jambs and a cyma-moulded surround.
