Description

Plas Wigginton is a farmhouse, now a house, that likely has a core dating from the 14th or 15th century. It was remodeled in the early 17th century, with later additions and alterations. The building is timber framed with painted brick infill, mostly covered in cement render to imitate the original appearance, and features slate roofs. The original layout appears to have been an open hall with two wide framed bays, possibly including a smoke bay, and a later two-bay gabled cross-wing that projects to the rear.

The house is two storeys high. The framing is exposed at the rear of the hall range, with large square panels consisting of three sections from the cill to the wall-plate. The right gable end has a collar and tie beam truss with projecting single-purlin ends. The windows are irregularly placed, featuring two late 19th-century casements directly below the eaves of the hall range, and two asymmetrically positioned segmental-headed early 20th-century casements on the ground floor. There is also a vertical rectangular casement to the left of a 20th-century gabled timber porch, which has the inscription "HOME" on the lintel and inner six-panel double doors, with the upper panels now glazed. The cross-wing has early 20th-century casements on each floor facing the gable.

There is a 20th-century red brick ridge stack immediately to the right of the porch on the hall range, along with a similar external end stack to the right. The left side of the cross-wing features an external lateral stack with a dentilled band at the top, and there is a large stepped external end stack at the rear gable. To the right gable end of the hall range, there is a lower, probably early 19th-century, single-storey brick addition with a dentilled eaves cornice, also cement rendered to imitate timber framing.

Inside, the timber frame is exposed on the ground floor of both the hall range and cross-wing, including the cross walls, with large square panels. The ground floor has chamfered ceiling beams and heavy joists throughout. The hall range features a collar and tie beam roof with two and a half bays, jowled wall posts, straight windbraces, and mortices for braces from the wall posts to the tie beams, indicating that the hall range was once open to the roof. The cross-wing also has a collar and tie beam roof.
