Description
Wix Farm House is a hall house dating from the 15th century, with extensions from the 16th and 17th centuries at both ends, and further extensions added in the 20th century to the rear and front. The building is timber framed, with a base of red brick and whitewashed brick and render infill and cladding on the first floor, topped with plain tiled roofs. It has a half-H shaped plan, featuring end cross wings that project further to the right, along with two gabled wings at right angles on the left wall and in the re-entrant angle with the cross wing.
There is a square stack on the ridge of the left cross wing, a stack to the right of the center on the main range, and a large stack at the junction with the right return wing. The house is two storeys high. The entrance front has a tile-hung gable to the left, with one three-light casement window on each floor of the left cross wing. There are three windows on the first floor center and four on the ground floor left of center. The rendered gables on the return wall of the right cross wing have a plat band over the ground floor, with one first floor window on the left gable and two on the right gable. A 20th-century projecting single-storey porch is located to the ground floor right of center, featuring a 20th-century door flanked by single lights.
The left return front is tile-hung and has two windows on each floor. The right return front is constructed of 17th-century brick with a plat band over the ground floor, featuring three three-light casements on each floor and two gables on the eaves to the left. There are double doors, part glazed, to the left of center in a gabled porch. The rear has irregular casement fenestration and a hip-roofed 20th-century single-storey extension to the right of center. Inside, there are substantial quantities of exposed timber, including crown posts in the roof, an ogee arched door to the first floor, and chamfered ceiling beams.
