Wenthill Farmhouse

Wenthill Farmhouse, now a house, dates to 1627, although it has undergone alterations and restoration. It is constructed of coursed squared magnesian limestone, with some areas of daubed render, and has a stone slate roof. The building has an L-shaped layout, comprising a single-unit main range aligned north-south, a rear outshut, and a two-unit crosswing to the north. It is two and two-and-a-half storeys high, with one and two bays respectively. The east front features a small gabled porch in the angle with the wing, a four-light recessed casement window to the left, a similar three-light window above, and a large chimney stack on the ridge in line with the porch. The left gable wall has a three-light window on each floor, matching those on the front, and a three-step mounting block to the rear. The crosswing has a four-light window at the first floor and a three-light attic window with stone mullions; continuous dripbands are above all the windows, the ground floor one carried round. A modern datestone is inscribed "+ 1627". The gable has ridged coping with kneelers and a large chimney in the centre of the ridge. The re-entrant wall has a two-light stone mullion window at the first floor, above the porch. The north return wall of the wing has windows of three, three, and two lights at ground floor, and four and 2 lights above, all with rendered surrounds. The rear gable of the wing has a window on each floor (four, four, and two lights), the outshut has a modern ground floor addition and a large gabled dormer in the roof. Inside, a large lateral beam is visible in the main range. A deep chimney stack is present, and there are roof trusses in the attic of the wing.
