World'S End Farmhouse

World's End Farmhouse is a Grade II* listed house dating from the late 16th century. It is timber framed and plastered, with exposed framing at the front and a roof covered with handmade red clay tiles. The house has four bays facing southwest, featuring one original rear chimney stack and another that was rebuilt in the 20th century. There is a rear stair tower and a single-storey lean-to extension at the right end, which dates from the 19th century. The building has two storeys and attics, with a full-length jetty supported by exposed joists and beams, and five plain brackets.

On the ground floor, there are three early 19th-century sash windows with 24 lights and three 20th-century casements on the first floor. A 20th-century door occupies the position of the original door. The ground floor also contains four blocked original windows that are ovolo-moulded, each with one ovolo mullion, and there are four similar windows on the first floor, three of which retain their original ovolo mullions. Evidence remains of two former oriels and a former single-storey porch below the jetty, although there are no oriels on the first floor. The original sprockets are visible on the rear elevation and both sides of the stair tower.

Inside, the farmhouse features jowled posts and some exposed close studding with curved braces. In the left bay, there is an ovolo-moulded axial beam, with the joists plastered to the soffits. The middle room has beams and joists that are ovolo-moulded with step stops, while the right bay contains plain joists of horizontal section. Mortices indicate a removed partition on the first floor. There is one unglazed window in the rear wall, complete with four diamond mullions. The original second floor is intact, with rebated boards, and there is a blocked window with ovolo mouldings in the left gable of the attic. The roof features clasped purlins with arched wind-bracing. The stair tower has original solid treads surrounding a small square well. This building retains an exceptional number of original features from around 1570 and has undergone less alteration than is typically found. It is situated on a moated site.
