Description
Wayfarers is a house dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with later alterations. The ground floor is made of painted brick, while the first floor features a combination of plain and fishscale tiles. The building has a plain tile roof and stands two storeys high with an attic, all on a painted brick plinth. It has a coved plastered eaves cornice and a half-hipped roof, with a central brick ridge stack and two hipped dormers. There is one three-light horizontally sliding sash window towards the left end of the building. A ribbed door is located in an early 20th-century timber framed porch beneath the stack. To the right, there is a short two-storey rear wing, and to the left, a single-storey painted brick rear extension with an elongated gambrel roof. The interior has not been inspected.
