Description

Wash Farmhouse is a 17th-century timber-framed house with a cross wing at the east end. Originally plastered, it is now mostly covered in red brick. The building has two storeys and attics. The south front features a range of three windows, while the east front has two double-hung sash windows with glazing bars in plain reveals, each with square label moulds. A gabled brick porch extends from the south front. The roof is tiled and has stopped gables on the cross wing.
