Wintles Farmhouse And Brooks Cottage

Wintles Farmhouse and Brooks Cottage is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from around 1700. It is built of coursed limestone rubble and features a gabled stone slate roof with brick end stacks, each having two flues. The building has a central-staircase plan and stands two storeys high with an attic, presenting a symmetrical five-window range. A bracketed flat hood covers a late 18th-century six-panelled door with an overlight. There are rendered-over-stone flat arches above early 18th-century cross windows, which have been restored with leaded lights. The structure includes three gabled roof dormers, each with two-light leaded casements. To the rear left is Brooks Cottage, an early 19th-century one-storey service range made of similar materials, which has been remodelled in the 20th century. Inside Wintles Farmhouse, there are stone steps leading to the cellar, plain beams, remodelled open fireplaces, and quarter-turn stairs. The roof features a collar-truss design with butt purlins.
