Description
Wellers Farm is a house that was originally built as a barn in the early 16th century. It was adapted into a dwelling in the late 16th or early 17th century and was refronted in the early 19th century. The building features a timber frame that is clad in red brick with some grey headers in Flemish bond on the ground floor, while the first floor is tile hung. It has a tiled roof with a central brick chimneystack and an end chimneystack on the left.
The house has two storeys and three windows, which are 19th-century casement windows. There is a four-panelled door from the 19th century, with the shadow of a missing weather porch above it. The rear of the building has a catslide roof.
Inside, the structure has a box frame with a queen post roof. Mortice holes for curved braces indicate its original use as a barn. The ground floor features a large inserted sandstone open fireplace, likely from the early 17th century, with a cambered bressumer and two niches for salt and spices. There is a chamfered axial beam with lambs tongue stops and chamfered floor joists. The first floor retains old floorboards, and there are reports of old diamond mullioned windows. An outshut from the 18th century is also present.
