Description

Worgret Farm House is a detached farmhouse dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century, with a rear wing that may be older. The building features brick walls set on a stone base, topped with a dentil cornice at the eaves. It has a hipped roof covered in concrete tiles and a brick chimney located at the back of the front range. The farmhouse has an L-shaped plan and stands two storeys tall, with a single-storey slated lean-to at the west end of the main range.

The entrance includes a 20th-century part-glazed door framed by an original reeded surround, which is sheltered by a flat moulded hood. On the ground floor, there are two double-hung sash windows with glazing bars, each set beneath segmental arches. The first floor features one similar sash window and two casement windows, also with glazing bars. The rear wing has a lean-to addition on the west side, covered by a catslide roof. Attached to the back of this wing is a stone building that was formerly used as a bakehouse. Inside, the main staircase, likely built at the same time as the house, has a closed string and turned balusters.
