Wassicks Farmhouse

Wassicks Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the late 15th century, with alterations made in the late 16th century. It is designed as a three-cell open hall house, featuring one storey and attics. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a glazed pantiled roof that was once thatched. There is one gabled casement dormer and an axial chimney made of common brick from the mid-20th century. The farmhouse has mid-20th century small-pane casements, while the original window in the open hall, which has six lights of diamond mullions, is exposed and glazed at the upper level. Another similar 16th-century window is also glazed.

The entrance door is boarded and located at the cross-entry position, featuring a 4-centred arched head from the original doorway, with a modern open gabled porch supported by posts. Inside, the two-bay open hall shows signs of smoke-blackening. It has an open truss with a cambered tie-beam and one archbrace. There are two 4-centred arch service doorways, and the studding is widely spaced with long tension-braces. The roof is constructed with coupled rafters.

At the service end on the left, there is a deep jetty at the gable end, which is a 16th-century addition. On the right-hand end, back-to-back lintelled open fireplaces are located in the parlour cell; this end was extended in the mid to late 16th century with close-studding. All three cells feature 16th-century first floors with unchamfered joists. A wing at the rear right is of late 16th-century origin, although it has undergone significant remodelling, primarily in the 20th century.
