Lower Wringworthy Farmhouse

Lower Wringworthy Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century. It is constructed of rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with a slate roof featuring gable ends. The roof includes cement-washed scantle slate on the higher right end and asbestos slate on the lower left end. There is a brick chimney stack likely serving the parlour at the left-hand gable end, and a projecting stone rubble chimney stack with a brick shaft and a cloam oven projection that heats the hall kitchen on the right-hand gable end.

The layout consists of two rooms with a through passage, featuring a large hall kitchen on the right and a smaller parlour on the left, both heated by gable end stacks. An outshut containing a dairy and kitchen was added to the rear of the hall kitchen in the early 19th century, and a further outshut was added to the rear of the parlour in the late 19th or early 20th century.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with a regular four-window front. The ground floor includes a 19th-century three-light casement window to the left, a 20th-century hipped porch on a rendered base with a 19th-century four-panelled door inside, and two mid to late 19th-century 16-pane sash windows with horns to the right. The first floor features a tall 19th-century three-light casement window to the left, a one-light casement above the door, and two 19th-century two-light casement windows to the right, almost directly above the ground floor openings.

Inside, the roof consists of seven bays with three trusses at the lower left-hand end that were replaced when the late 19th or early 20th-century outshut was added to the rear. The three trusses at the higher right end have chamfered and cambered collars that are halved, lapped, and pegged onto the face of the principals, which are morticed at the apex.
