Description
Wish House is a 17th-century timber-framed house with brick infilling. The west side of the ground floor has been surfaced with cement. The roof is tiled, and timber framing is visible on the rear of the cottage, which faces Wish Ward. The house has two storeys and four windows. The interior includes interesting 18th or early 19th-century alcoves and fireplaces. A half-hipped roof sits atop the structure, and a later side extension is visible on the south side.
