Ford Farmhouse And Adjoining Stable

Ford Farmhouse and the adjoining stable are located on Ford Street in Wigmore. The farmhouse dates from the 17th century and has undergone alterations and additions in the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries. It features a timber frame with painted brick infill at the rear, some rubble walling, and roughcast on the front and sides, topped with a slate roof and a 19th-century brick stack on the front pitch. The structure likely consists of two framed bays oriented east to west, with an external rendered rubble chimney and a brick stack on the rear north elevation.

The building is a single storey with an attic that includes dormers. The rear elevation displays three panels from the sill to the wall-plate and short straight upper corner braces. The south front elevation has two ground floor 3-light casement windows, two gabled dormers with 2-light casements, and a skylight positioned between the dormers. The main entrance, located to the right of the center, features a 20th-century gabled half-glazed timber porch with a partly-glazed door inside. Old purlin ends are visible at the west end.

At the rear left, there is a large 20th-century lean-to addition. The adjoining stable, built in the 19th century, is constructed of rubble with a slate roof and consists of two bays and two levels. All openings in the stable have cambered brick heads, including a stable door at the rear and ground floor and loft openings at the east end.
