Description
Wychwell Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse, with later alterations and additions. It is constructed of sandstone and limestone rubble, with limestone dressings, and the left side is rendered. The roof is double Roman tiled, with brick gable stacks, with a pantiled and double Roman tiled addition to the left, and a corrugated iron roofed single storey addition to the right. The original design incorporated a through passage.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has three windows. The ground floor has two 3-light casements with ovolo mullions, surrounds, cornices, and 3-pane lights held in place by loop catches. A central plank door has a glass insertion set within a moulded stone surround, surmounted by a flat stone hood supported on wrought iron brackets. The first floor has two outer windows similar to those on the ground floor, and a central 2-light window. All openings have relieving arches. A single-storey addition to the right features a door and a 4-pane window. A lower two-storey former kitchen to the left has a single-storey lean-to and two plank doors, along with one 2-light casement. The left return has a single-storey lean-to with a stable door in a chamfered wooden frame. The right return includes a 19th-century 2-light casement with a timber lintel at attic level.
At the rear, there is a single-storey rendered addition with a 19th-century 4-pane casement and two 20th-century windows. The ground floor has a 3-light window similar to that on the front, a former passage door, and a central 2-light window at the first floor, resembling the front. There is also a door in the addition to the left.
Inside, the house features chamfered beams and a straight staircase to the left of the passage, forked at the first floor level. The front right room has cupboards with shaped shelves to each side of the fireplace. The former kitchen has a heavy fireplace lintel with an oven to the rear.
