Description

Well Farm, comprising a farmhouse, a cottage, and an attached barn, dates to the 15th century, with significant alterations in the 17th and 19th centuries; the farmhouse was refronted in the late 19th century. The farmhouse is built of coursed squared sandstone with gritstone dressings, while the cottage and barn have gritstone dressings too. The roofs are of plain tiles, with stone ridges, except for the barn which has a pantile roof. The farmhouse features large 19th-century stone gable end stacks, while the cottage has a twin brick ridge stack. Stone coped gables with plain kneelers are present.

The farmhouse is two storeys with two bays. The cottage, also two storeys, has three bays. The south facade of the cottage features a flush doorcase with a 20th-century door. To the west is a small, inserted window. To the east are two plain sash windows, the western one wider than the other. Above, there are three plain sashes, matching those below. The farmhouse to the west has a central, chamfered doorcase with a 20th-century door. To either side are 19th-century three-light chamfered mullion windows. Above these are two similar two-light windows. A 17th-century recessed and chamfered three-light mullion window is located at the rear.

Attached to the west is a four-bay barn with central, full-height plank doors. To the west are two 19th-century stable doors, and a similar door to the east. A raised cruck truss is found at the east end of the barn, embedded into the masonry of the west gable wall of the farmhouse.

The buildings are included on the list for group value.
