Description
Walleybourne Farmhouse is a manor house that dates back to around 1400, with remodels in the 16th century and around 1700, along with later additions and alterations. The building features red brick that conceals a timber frame and has plain tile roofs. It has an open hall consisting of three or four bays, with a stack inserted in the north wall and a cross-wing added to the west end during the 16th century. The hall was floored over around 1700, the eaves were raised, and the house was encased in brick in the late 18th or early 19th century.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a dentilled eaves cornice. On the cross-wing, there is one glazing bar sash window with a segmental head on each floor, and to the left of the entrance in the hall range, there is one three-light casement window on each floor. There is also a small casement window on the first floor at the angle between the hall and the cross-wing, and a glazing bar sash window at the junction between the hall and a single-storey lean-to on the right. The plain boarded door has a 20th-century pedimented doorcase above it. The main stack is roughly centered in the hall range behind the ridge, with an additional stack at the junction between the hall and the cross-wing, and an end stack to the right.
Inside, there are three base cruck trusses of arch-braced collar beam construction, two of which, including the spere truss at the east end, are decorated with delicate cusping at the apex. One of the door heads of the screens passage remains in place, and the close studding on the north wall is likely from the 16th century. The ground floor features chamfered ceiling beams throughout. The house was formerly surrounded by a moat.
