Description
Wheatsheaf Farm House is a 17th-century house that was extended at the rear in the 18th century and altered in the 20th century. The original part of the house features a timber frame that is weatherboarded and plastered, topped with a tiled roof. It has three bays and two storeys, with a plinth and a central entrance. On the ground floor, there is a canted bay addition to the right and a four-light casement window to the left. The first floor has two sash windows. The right gable end includes a 19th-century sash window and two tall 18th-century stacks with offsets and oversailing caps at the junction with the 18th-century extension. The left end has an external stack and lean-to weatherboarded additions. At the rear left, there is a catslide roof with a hipped dormer over a one-storey addition. The attached 18th-century block at the rear extends to the right and is made of whitewashed brick with a machine-tiled hipped roof. This block is slightly taller than the original house and features casement windows and dentilled brick eaves. The interior has not been inspected.
