Description
Wenfork Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse, dated 1616, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of roughcast slate-stone with a slate roof. The farmhouse has a three-unit plan to its main range, with a short gabled cross-wing projecting to the left (upper) end. It is two storeys high. The farmhouse features late 19th or early 20th-century casement windows, with three on the first floor of the main range directly below the eaves, and one on each side of a lean-to porch to the left of the centre, incorporating a glazed outer door and boarded inner door. The gable has casement windows on each floor with dripstones above, and a datestone reading "1616" at the apex. There is a rendered internal end stack to the right of the main range, and a prominent external lateral stack to the rear on the left, rebuilt in 19th-century red brick. Adjacent to this stack is a partially cobbed catslide outshut. The interior has been significantly altered in the 20th century. An inglenook fireplace has been infilled, and ceiling beams are concealed. Some panelled doors remain. The roof space retains surviving 17th-century chamfered principal rafters beneath a raised eave line, including within the cross-wing.
