Wickham Farmhouse

Wickham Farmhouse is a house that dates back to the late 16th century, with historical references to the site as early as 1279. It features a lobby entrance design of notable quality, with an early 17th-century parlour wing added to the south and a later 17th-century extension to the west. There have been late 19th-century alterations and a further extension around 1960 to the rear, which uses matching materials but lacks special interest.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with attics. The northern part has a ground floor made of red brick, with some exposed timber framing on a Sussex sandstone plinth. The first floor is adorned with alternating courses of pointed and curved tiles. The roof is covered with Horsham stone slabs and features a central cruciform and filleted brick chimney stack. The projecting wing to the south displays exposed timber framing, a tiled gable, and a modern two-storey projecting window. A large 17th-century external chimney stack is made of sandstone at the base and brick at the top. The west elevation showcases three gables, two of which are tile hung with alternating courses of curved and pointed tiles.

Inside, the Dining Room has a ceiling with a spine beam and joists, all featuring lambs tongue stops. The Hall retains 17th-century framing. The first floor includes jowled posts and late 16th-century square framing, along with another ceiling with lambs tongue stops. A powder closet retains a hatch for passing a wig from the bedroom to the maid in the powder closet. The house contains a fine series of old planked doors, some with elaborate architrave mouldings and others that are two-panelled. The roof is of queen post construction and shows carpenter's marks. Wickham Farmhouse is listed as Grade II* due to its high-quality frame and the survival of rare internal features, despite the alterations.
