Wick Farmhouse

Wick Farmhouse began as a late 16th-century house and likely had an 18th-century addition, with restoration and conversion to flats occurring in 1978-9. It is constructed of rubblestone with a graduated Bradstone slate roof. The building now functions as four flats.

The main house is two storeys and three bays, with a two-storey wing including an attic to the rear right, and a further two-storey range added to the rear of the original first and second bays. The windows are largely 20th century, though some retain wooden mullions and casements. The south front features large, punch-dressed quoins at the right end, rising approximately one meter. A possible original doorway was originally located to the left of the left-hand window (as evidenced from the interior), with a 20th-century replacement now in the right bay. Windows on the south front are of 3, 4, and 4 lights to the ground floor and 3, 2, and 3 lights above, with timber lintels; those in the second bay have brick jambs and squared stones between them. The roof is hipped on the right and half-hipped on the left, featuring a ridge stack with a stone base and brick upper portion.

The rear elevation includes a two-light attic window with an old timber lintel, two 20th-century doorways, and various other 20th-century windows on the added block, incorporating a brick stack at the right end. The right return features windows of 3, 2, and 3 lights to the ground floor and 4, 2, and 3 lights above, all with timber lintels; the windows in the left bay incorporate stone quoins.

The interior of the front right room (now in flat No 2) stands out for its two large spine beams with broad chamfers and run-out stops, dividing the ceiling into compartments with moulded plaster cornices and a decorative ceiling of interlinked circles with petaled bosses. A moulded frieze runs along the right-hand wall, and the front window has a 19th-century architrave and panelled shutters. A large-scantling cross-beam, similarly chamfered and stopped, is located between the left-hand bays (in flat No 1). This beam has mortices in its soffit, indicative of a former plank and muntin panelled partition. A further spine-beam is present in the left bay, which features a recess in the front wall, and an opposing doorway with a timber lintel in the rear wall. This doorway leads into the added range, which contains a large, infilled fireplace with a surviving bread oven, and a smaller, chamfered cross-beam with stops as previously described.
