Description

Baxter Farmhouse is a late 18th-century farmhouse located on Main Street in Willoughby on the Wolds. The building is constructed of red brick with some ashlar and features a plain tile roof. It has two red brick gable stacks and dentil eaves. The farmhouse is two and a half storeys tall with a cellar and consists of three bays. There is a single cellar opening on the left side and a flight of red brick and ashlar steps with an iron handrail leading to the central doorway, which has a six-fielded panel door and a glazing bar overlight. The doorway is flanked by reeded pilasters that support two brackets and a hood. On either side of the doorway are single glazing bar sash windows. Above, there are three similar sash windows, all set under segmental arches. The top floor features three small glazing bar sash windows. Attached to the left of the main farmhouse is a two-storey wing made of red brick and concrete tile, which has two bays and a left external gable stack. This wing has a raised brick eaves band and features a single tripartite glazing bar Yorkshire sash window, with a single 20th-century glazing bar casement above, both under segmental arches.
