Description

Wollerton Farmhouse, dating from the early 18th century, has undergone alterations in the late 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It is now divided into two houses. The farmhouse is constructed of red brick with plain tile roofs, and features single gable and ridge stacks. The main facade is two storeys high with an attic, and has four windows. Most windows are modern wooden cross casements set in original openings, with segmental heads to those on the ground floor. A late 20th-century gabled porch is positioned on the left side, flanked to the left by a single window and to the right by three larger windows, one of which fills a former doorway. Above the porch are four windows. A further early 19th-century gabled dormer has been reglazed. The left gable features an early 19th-century sash window with 8/8 glazing in the attic. A rear addition from the 19th century is present, with a later single-storey lean-to addition incorporating double doors and a 19th-century casement window.

Inside, the kitchen on the left side retains paired chamfered spine beams with simple stops and a principal fireplace with a chamfered bressummer. An adjoining drawing room has an early 19th-century four-panel door and a chamfered spine beam. The chimney breast and fireplace in the drawing room were rebuilt in the late 20th century. An 8/8 sash window has an incomplete panelled surround, flanked by a cast iron pilaster and scroll bracket supporting an inserted span beam. The winder staircase is of oak, with turned newels and rings, a moulded handrail, and inserted stick balusters; some original turned balusters remain. The first landing features four beaded plank doors. First-floor rooms feature plain chamfered beams. The second landing has a door made from 17th-century framed panelling. The roof structure is a double purlin roof without a ridge, containing some reused timber.

On the ground floor on the right side, the layout includes paired chamfered spine beams and a largely rebuilt principal fireplace. A plainer oak winder stair, with square newels and stick balusters, is also present. First-floor rooms have plain chamfered beams and beaded plank doors. The roof structure is similar to that of the left range.
