Description
Wethered Manor is a farmhouse that shows some evidence of 17th century construction but was either completely rebuilt or significantly altered in the first half of the 19th century. The porch and the west front north of the porch are made of rubble tiled carstone with brick dressings, while the main house to the south of the porch features squared and coursed carstone with galleting and brick dressings, topped with a smut pantiled roof.
The two-storey house has an off-centre two-storey porch, with two bays to the north and four to the south, and a second section at the rear. The porch, originating from the 17th century, has a brick plinth and quoins, along with a 19th century stone doorcase. It is adorned with Ionic half columns, an entablature, and a modillion cornice above. The door features an arched architrave with imposts and a central scroll keystone, and a 20th century plate glass outer door has been inserted.
On the first floor, there is an arched sash window with margin light glazing bars that fills a larger brick-dressed 17th century rectangular window opening. A 19th century shallow brick pediment with a wooden modillion cornice and pediment extends across the rest of the facade as an eaves cornice.
To the north of the porch, the rubble carstone facade includes two inserted 19th century ground and first floor sashes with margin lights and brick flat arch heads. The north gable is made of galletted carstone with a blocked brick-dressed 17th century rectangular window. To the south, there are four ground floor and four first floor inserted 19th century sashes with margin light glazing bars, brick dressings, brick quoins, and inserted rubble carstone courses that indicate the infilling of earlier large windows. The roof is shallow pitched with brick coped parapet gables and end stacks.
