Description
Wissenden House is an L-shaped building comprising a 16th-century timber-framed wing and an 18th-century wing. The north-west wing is timber-framed and was built in 1567, as evidenced by a ridge tile found on site. The ground floor of this wing has been refaced with red brick, while the upper section is weatherboarded. It has a tiled roof with a pentice at the north end of its west front. The wing contains two casement windows. The south-east wing dates to the 18th century and is stuccoed with a hipped slate roof and a bracket eaves cornice. It has five sash windows with intact glazing bars.
