Description
Walsgrove Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in the late 17th to early 18th century, with additions from the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is constructed of red brick in English bond and has a tiled roof.
Originally an L-plan house, the front range was extended to the south in the 19th century, and a parallel range was added to the north at the rear in the early 20th century. The building features one stack to the left of center, a later stack inserted at the right gable end, and another stack at the rear of the early 20th-century addition. There are two entrances: one on the north side and another on the south. The farmhouse has two storeys, with a gable-lit attic and a basement.
The east elevation displays English bond brickwork, with a noticeable break in the brickwork between the earlier house and the later addition. It features a dentiled eaves cornice and two string courses raised above the lintels on both the ground and first floors. The windows are of 19th-century design with altered openings in the earlier part of the house, consisting of three-light wooden casements throughout, with three on the first floor and three on the ground floor. There is a doorway to the basement located at the lower right-hand side.
Inside, the farmhouse contains an inglenook fireplace with a former bread oven and a simple 18th-century oak-framed staircase located in the stair turret at the angle of the L-plan at the rear, which is now partly concealed from the exterior. The roof features late 17th to 18th-century trusses.
