Description
Wern Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the 17th or 18th century, with some alterations made in the early 19th century and an addition from the early 20th century. The building is constructed of coursed thin rubble and features brick, stone slate, and tiled roofs. It has three sections that step down from left to right.
The left section is an early 20th-century addition with end stacks on both sides, two storeys, and two windows fitted with regularly placed metal casements. The central section has a two-room plan on the front elevation and shares a stack with the left extension. This part has a stone slate roof, two lower storeys, and two windows featuring early 19th-century casements with nine panes each, where the central three panes open. These windows are located on either side of the central entrance, which is accessed through a slate-roofed gabled porch dating from around 1900, complete with a ledged door.
To the right of the central section is a one-and-a-half storey, two-bay extension that has a stack at the right end, a square window opening to the right, and a two-light 18th-century casement on the rear elevation. The interior has not been inspected.
