Description
Oxwick Farmhouse is a Grade II* listed farmhouse, dated 1722 and built for John Oxwick. The structure is made of coursed rubble with brick dressings and string courses, topped with a 20th-century tiled roof and brick stacks. It features a unique combination of provincial baroque and gabled vernacular styles. The building has two storeys and attics, with a facade consisting of 1:1:3:1:1 bays. The outer two bays are recessed, while the three inner bays are set between projecting stair towers, all topped with gables of varying sizes. Clasping buttresses and quoins are present on the left side.
The ground floor includes 4-pane sash windows with round heads, while the upper floors have segmental-headed windows. In the center, engaged brick pilasters rise through two storeys, supporting a stone pediment. There is a blocked door with a segmental head on the ground floor, and above it are enriched arms under a segmental pediment and a bullseye window. A 20th-century door with a square head is located in the right stair tower, alongside an original round-headed door in the left. The central gable has a blocked semi-circular window, and stone tablets are found in the stair tower gables.
On the west elevation, there is a three-storey bow window with single-storey, three-bay service wings set back on either side. The rear elevation features three bays, with the central bay recessed and capped by an ashlar gable that includes a central niche. An oval inscribed date plaque is located above the central window on the ground floor. Inside, the farmhouse boasts turned baluster dog-leg staircases, plank doors with round and square heads, lugged ashlar fire surrounds on both the ground and first floors, and a cheese loft with racks and shelves.
