Wright'S Farmhouse

House. Dating back to the 14th century, it has been altered in the 16th and 20th centuries. The house is timber framed, with plastered walls and a roof of handmade red clay tiles. The original layout included a two-bay hall facing southwest, with a late 16th-century axial stack in the right bay. A parlour or solar bay is located to the left, with a 20th-century single-story extension at the rear. A three-bay crosswing is on the right, likely dating from the 16th century or earlier.

The main range is one storey high with attics, while the crosswing is two storeys high. On the ground floor, there are three 20th-century casement windows. The first floor has three more windows, two of which are within gabled dormers. A 20th-century door is situated within a gabled porch. The roof of the main range features a hipped gablet at the left end.

Inside, there's a large wood-burning hearth facing the left side, and a smaller hearth facing the right, along with two more hearths on the first floor, all with brickwork arches, originally plastered, with two now stripped. The main range exhibits sharply jowled posts and heavy studding. The inserted first floor in the hall consists of two chamfered longitudinal beams with lamb's tongue stops jointed into a chamfered transverse beam with lamb's tongue-and-bar stops, suggesting a former timber-framed chimney in the right bay of the hall. The joists are chamfered with lamb’s tongue stops and supported on pegged clamps. The left end of the hall has wide display braces, and a doorway with a four-centred head leads to the parlour. A rebate for shutters of a large hall window is present in the rear wallplate. The original floor of the parlour/solar bay has plain, lodged joists of large horizontal section. The roof is of crownpost construction, with a cambered tiebeam, cross-quadrate crownpost, collars, and rafters, all heavily smoke-blackened. A 1978 report suggested hammerbeam construction, which was not apparent during a 1984 survey, but may warrant further investigation. The crosswing contains an original first-floor partition between the middle and rear bays, and a framed ceiling, chamfered with lamb's tongue stops, from the late 16th or early 17th century. The right wallplate of the crosswing has a well-cut splayed and undersquinted scarf, indicating a 14th-century date, though the studding and bracing are more typical of the 16th century, suggesting a 16th-century rebuild of an earlier structure. A panelled oak door with cockshead hinges, dating to around 1600, was likely added later. This is a notably well-preserved early medieval hall house, with unusual historical interest due to its completeness.
