Description

Wych Farmhouse is a detached farmhouse dated 1705, featuring rubble-stone walls and a slate roof with stone gable copings and moulded scroll kneelers. It has brick stacks located at the left gable and at the ridge, right of centre. The building is two storeys high and has four windows, which are three-light stone mullions with straight-chamfered edges. The iron casements include horizontal glazing bars and have separate labels above them. The front door, positioned to the left of centre, is a plank door with stone straight-chamfered jambs and a depressed-arch head, topped by a carved datestone. There is a similar doorway at the back, along with some original windows that also feature labels.
