Description
Walcot Farmhouse is a manor house dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, with later alterations. It is built of coursed squared rubble and features an irregular stone slate roof with brick chimneys. The left part of the building is believed to have been the service wing of a larger house that has since been demolished. The farmhouse has two storeys and an attic, with irregularly placed windows. There are two large gables at the front and rear. To the right of the left part, there is a door with one glazed panel and a projecting open pediment supported by consoles. The ground floor and the first floor of the right wing have 16-pane sash windows, while the other windows are casements with leaded lights, all set under timber lintels. One first-floor window is blocked. A catslide roof covers an outshut to the left. There is an illegible datestone on the right gable. Inside, the ground floor to the right features a fireplace with a Tudor-arched lintel, stop-chamfered spine beams, and exposed purlins and principal rafters in the roof.
