Description
Manor Farm Cottage and Wychwood are two houses located in Kencot. Wychwood dates back to the early 17th century and features a 20th-century extension, while Manor Farm Cottage was built in the late 18th to early 19th century. The buildings are constructed from coursed rubble limestone with slobbered pointing, topped with a stone slate roof and rubble stone chimneys along the ridge. Both houses are two storeys high with an attic.
Wychwood includes one 17th-century bay that has hollow-chamfered stone mullion windows with Tudor hoodmoulds; the lower window has four lights and the upper window has three lights. There is a 20th-century gabled roof dormer with a two-light barred wooden casement. To the left, there is a doorway featuring a 20th-century glazed false door, a 20th-century wooden lintel, and remnants of a former gabled hood. The left end of Wychwood has been extended by one bay in the 20th century, which includes single- and two-light windows that match the original style, along with a gabled wooden hood over a half-glazed door. Inside the original bay, the ground floor has a plaster ceiling frieze from the early 17th century, decorated with a vine trail, and there are traces of similar ornamentation on the ceiling. An old winder stair aligns with the stack and features old board doors with latches and butterfly hinges. Some roof timbers have been partially renewed.
Manor Farm Cottage has dressed stone quoins and a gable verge. It features three bays of paired barred wooden casements, which were renewed in the 20th century and have flat stone arches. There is a 20th-century leaded single light window to the right of the door, and a small catslide roof dormer to the left with a top-hung wooden casement. The central entrance has a flush-panelled door with a stone open pediment hood supported by shaped scroll brackets. The gable end facing the road has barred wooden casements with wooden lintels. Both buildings have small lean-to extensions at the rear.
