Description

Wyke House is a farmhouse with attached walls, dated 1650, and features a late 17th-century addition on the west side, noted in the spandrels of the front door. The building has dressed stone walls that are rendered, with a clay-tile roof and stone-slate eaves. The gables are finished with stone copings and scrolled kneelers, and there are 20th-century brick stacks at the gable ends.

The front elevation consists of two storeys with attics and includes seven windows with hollow-chamfered stone mullions, fitted with iron casements and fixed lead lights. The ground floor has three-light windows, while the right-hand end has four lights. The first floor features a combination of three, two, and three-light windows. A continuous string course runs above both the ground and first floor windows. The front doorway, located to the left of centre, has moulded jambs and a depressed arch set in a square head, with a label dropping down from the string course. The door is a plank-and-muntin type, studded with long strap hinges and weatherboarding. There is also a blocked doorway to the right of a straight joint, which has a renewed head.

On the south elevation, the windows are primarily three-light, with a staircase window at half-level to the right of centre that has four lights. The doorway design is similar to the front door but lacks a date, featuring a plank-and-muntin door with strap hinges.

Inside, the late 17th-century addition has some exposed ceiling beams. There is an outbuilding at the west end with rubble-stone walls and a roof made of stone-slate and clay-tile, along with a 20th-century brick stack on the gable end. This outbuilding has a three-light iron casement with lead lights and a wooden lintel above.

Additionally, two attached walls extend at right angles from the front of the house, each measuring about 25 metres in length. These walls are made of rubble stone and each has a doorway halfway along with stone chamfered jambs and a depressed-arch head, featuring plank doors that are studded.
