Description
Wicken Hill is a house from the early 18th century, connected to a late 18th-century barn by an added porch that reuses a late 17th-century doorway, now functioning as a single dwelling. The building is constructed from thin coursed rubble stone with large, roughly dressed quoins and features a tile roof. It has a three-room plan, with a left-hand projecting wing that has a cat-slide roof, while the main range is two storeys high. The wing is one and a half storeys tall and includes a small two-light thin flat faced mullioned window. The main range is set back and has a doorway with thin monolithic jambs and a heavy lintel, along with a four-light window that has a chamfered surround and thin flat faced mullions. Above this, on the first floor, there is a six-light window and a three-light window with the same design above it. The gabled porch projects forward and features a flat arched lintel leading to a doorway with a chamfered surround. The barn is positioned at right angles to the house and includes a semi-circular cart entry with a simple Venetian window above. It has also been fitted with inserted two, three, and four-light flat faced mullioned windows that match the style. The left-hand return wall of the wing features a long ten-light flat faced mullioned window with a small window above it at the apex of the gable. There are no original stacks remaining.
