Description
Wheelwrights is a house dating from the mid to late 17th century, with an extension added in the late 18th or early 19th century. It features a timber frame that is rendered and weatherboarded, topped with a steeply pitched half hipped thatched roof. Originally designed as a two-cell lobby entry, it has been extended to the left by one bay and stands two storeys tall.
The right side of the building serves as the original entrance front, which is rendered on the right side of the ground floor and on the first floor of the original structure, while the rest is weatherboarded. On the ground floor, there is a glazed garden door with a bracketed hood, originally positioned centrally, flanked by two-light small pane flush frame casements with hoodboards. The first floor features a central small light, an early three-light metal frame leaded pane casement to the left, and a two-light small pane casement to the right.
A cross axial multiform ridge stack is present, and the later bay to the left includes two-light and single-light casements. The left end facing the road has three-light small pane casements with exposed plates, while the right end contains a glazed door and three-light casements. At the rear, there is a six-panelled door with a bracketed hood in the later bay, along with scattered one and two-light casements. A 20th-century lean-to outshut is also present. The interior has not been inspected.
