Description

Worlds Wonder Farm is a farmhouse that was formerly a public house, dating from the 17th century or early 18th century. It is constructed of painted brick, with the entire left gable end being tile-hung. The building features a plain tile roof and stands two storeys tall. There is a plat band at both the front and rear, with the front band being overlapped by four painted brick pilaster strips—one at each end and two towards the centre, which are truncated at different heights. The roof is hipped, and there is a multiflue brick ridge stack located to the left of the centre. The fenestration is irregular, consisting of three casements, two large cross windows, and a smaller central window. On the ground floor, there are three casements. The door, which dates from the 17th or early 18th century, has fielded panels and is now situated behind an open porch at the left gable end. To the rear left, there is a single-storey painted brick outbuilding with a plain tile roof. The interior has not been inspected.
