Description
Wantsley Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse with an L-plan layout. It features dressed stone walls, an asbestos slate roof, and stone gable copings. The east gable end has coupled stone stacks with a cornice, while there is one rendered stack on the right-hand ridge. The building is two storeys high and has three windows on the east elevation, which include 3- and 4-light stone mullions with ovolos and iron casements fitted with lead lights. There are separate labels above the ground floor windows, and one 20th-century inserted 2-light stone mullion. The front door, located left of centre, is a plank and studded design from the 20th century, featuring a flat stone lintel and plain jambs, with a continuous label above. The south elevation displays stone mullions of a later date, around the 18th century, which have hollow chamfers. Additionally, there is a stone porch with a depressed arch head and a pitched slate roof with gable coping.
