Description
The Wheel House is a house that has been converted into two dwellings. It dates from the late 16th century and 18th century, with some later alterations. The building features a timber frame with brick cladding, which is painted at the rear, and has a graduated stone slate roof with brick chimneys. It is two storeys high and has three bays facing the garden, with a continuous outshut at the rear and a gabled stair turret rising through the center.
The front of the building has a six-panel door and 20th-century windows, all set in segmental-headed openings, along with a blocked doorway at the right-hand end. The rear has similar openings and features a two-storey gabled stair turret with a bressumer and a horizontal-sliding sash window on the first floor. There are three wheel patterns painted on the gable. The building has a chimney on the ridge and another at the left gable.
Inside, there is a king-post roof truss with bracing to the ridge and some vertical studs located in the left end of the outshut loft.
