Description
Weaverslake Farmhouse is an 18th-century farmhouse that has been extended in the 19th and 21st centuries. The building is constructed partly of timber framing with brick infill, and partly of brick, with clay tile roofs and three brick stacks. The plan is an L-shape. The original 18th-century range is single-storey with an attic, while the 19th-century cross wing and its 21st-century extension are two storeys high.
The north-facing principal elevation shows an exposed, pegged 18th-century timber box-frame to the central and right bays, featuring small openings with timber mullions and lintels, all beneath a steeply-pitched roof. A single bay to the left has a slightly shallower pitched roof and an attached outshut with a front door and window. To the far left is the gable end of the 19th-century cross wing. The west end of the 18th-century range also has an exposed, pegged frame. The rear elevation has exposed framing with altered openings, and modern dormer windows have been inserted into the eaves. A 21st-century timber conservatory is located on the right, at the junction with the 19th-century cross wing. The 19th-century cross wing has a three-bay east-facing facade with a pitched roof, brick end stacks, and replacement window units within altered openings. A projecting brick porch with a pitched roof has been added to the central bay, along with a two-storey extension built in-line to the south. A detached garage from the 21st century is not of special interest and is excluded from the listing.
The ground floor of the 18th-century range has chamfered oak beams with substantial joists. Later panelling adorns the walls of the principal room. An inglenook fireplace, alongside the modern staircase, contains some historic fabric but is largely altered. Exposed framing is visible on one end wall, and chamfered purlins are found at attic level.
Pursuant to section 1(5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, the late 20th/early 21st-century extension, fixtures and fittings are not considered to be of special architectural or historic interest.
