Description
Wrenshall Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century. It has two storeys and attics, constructed with a timber frame, featuring a rendered front and tile-hanging on the sides and rear. The roof is made of reed thatch. Inside, there is an internal chimney stack with four attached hexagonal shafts, which previously had a plaster date of 1603. The building has two small-paned sash windows on each storey and a lobby entrance that includes a mid-19th century enclosed porch with a shallow-pitched slate roof, fluted barge-boards, and a door with six flush panels.
The frame of the farmhouse consists of five bays, without a structural chimney bay, and the current partition walls do not align with the trusses, making the original layout unclear. It is likely that an earlier heating arrangement existed before the brick stack was added. Main beams and posts are visible, along with framing in one upper room at the north end. The structure appears to be of a single date. The roof features lightweight construction, with clasped side purlins, diminished principals, and remnants of windbraces. At the rear, there is a small timber-framed wing with an end chimney stack, which is encased in white brick from the 19th century, raised, and slated, and it retains parts of a steep-pitched earlier roof near the stack.
