Description
Wytheford House Farmhouse is an early 18th-century brick farmhouse with sandstone dressings and a two-span slate roof. It is a double-depth plan building with two storeys and a gable-lit attic. The exterior features a chamfered red sandstone plinth, a moulded stone eaves cornice, and stone-coped parapeted gable ends with moulded stone kneelers. There are two brick stacks behind the front ridge and a brick stack at the rear.
The south front has a 2:1:2 bay arrangement. It contains glazing bar sashes with painted moulded stone cills and painted segmental stone lintels, each with raised faceted keystones with moulded tops. A central half-glazed door is set within an early 19th-century doorcase with reeded pilaster strips, an architrave, and a moulded cornice. A late 19th-century gabled brick porch with a chamfered plinth, a dentil brick eaves cornice, and verges features a pair of half-glazed doors with a keyed segmental lintel. Narrow glazing bar sashes are positioned on either side, also with keyed segmental lintels. The left-hand gable end has a segmental-headed four-pane attic sash, two first-floor glazing bar sashes, and central ground-floor early 19th-century French casements with a three-part rectangular overlight and surround featuring reeded pilaster strips and a cornice. The right-hand gable end has two segmental-headed attic glazing bar sashes.
The rear of the house was formerly three bays but is now two, and it contains segmental-headed glazing bar sashes. A boarded door is located to the right. The rear range only extends for approximately half the length of the main house. The north-west corner appears to have been intended for development, as evidenced by projecting bricks, though it was never built. A 18th-century one-storey service wing projects to the south-east, with a plinth, a dentil brick eaves cornice, and an integral lateral brick stack. This wing is characterised by two- and three-light segmental-headed wooden casements.
The interior was not inspected, but several features were noted. These include an entrance hall with a staircase. The right-hand ground floor room has tall raised and fielded panelling with a dado rail and a coved cornice. The left-hand ground-floor room features panelling with a giant order of pilasters and segmental niches flanking the fireplace. Internal window shutters are also present.
