Description

Fletcher Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-17th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features an old plain-tile roof with a brick ridge stack. The building has a 2-unit lobby-entry plan and stands two storeys tall with attics. The front has three windows with leaded oak-mullioned windows on the first floor, arranged in groups of three, two, and three lights, all with ovolo-moulding and dentils above. The gable walls have two-light stone-mullioned windows, some of which are blocked, and there are remains of a three-row dovecote in the left gable. The rear wall includes a three-light stone-mullioned window and a stair window. To the left, there is a single-storey rear wing, likely from the 18th century.

Inside, there is a massive central stack with blocked fireplaces and a flanking dog-leg stair featuring heavy turned balusters. The interior also has chamfered beams, some with lozenges carved on the stops, and heavy door frames with moulded chamfer-stops and three-plank doors. The building is incorrectly marked as Wells Cottage on the Ordnance Survey sheet.
