Description

Wigginton Hall is a farmhouse dated 1683, though it may include parts of an earlier building. It has undergone later additions and alterations. The structure is built of red brick in a mixed bond, with render likely hiding a timber frame on the left gable end, and features a slate roof. The building is L-shaped, with two storeys and an attic, a plinth, and a moulded string course below the eaves that supports carved wooden corbels with incised initials and symbols. The right gable end has dentilled floor bands. The façade is divided into three bays by pilasters that taper towards the bottom, featuring late 20th-century casements, with the ground floor windows having two rows of headers above them. The central entrance has a moulded wood surround and a mid-19th-century half-glazed door. Above the entrance is a datestone in the shape of a shield inscribed with "L/IM/MD/1683." A prominent 19th-century slate-hung gabled dormer is located in the roof slope at the centre. There is an integral end stack on the left with a toothed band at the top. The right gable end has infilled windows on both the ground and first floors, and a 20th-century casement in the attic. The rear range features dentilled bands and an infilled window in the gable, along with a ridge stack that has a dentilled band at the top.

An attached wall at the rear right corner of the rear range is probably from the early 18th century, made of red brick with sandstone coping, and is approximately 30 meters long. Inside, the right ground-floor room has two chamfered cross beams with straight-cut stops, while the left ground-floor room has two deep-chamfered spine beams that continue to the other side of the left wall of the central passage, along with heavy joists. The timber frame, with square panels, is exposed on the right wall of the passage and on the cross wall in the rear range. There is a massive chimney breast in the left gable end, featuring a 19th-century segmental wooden surround for the fireplace and an inset cupboard. The rear range includes a late 17th-century dog-leg staircase, which has been partly reconstructed but retains its original balusters, moulded handrail, and newel posts. The interior also has 18th-century panelled doors. The house previously had a lower, partly timber-framed range on the left gable end, which was demolished around 1970. A 20th-century lean-to addition in the rear angle is not of special architectural interest.
