Description
Wormwood Farmhouse is a late 17th-century farmhouse constructed of roughcast rubble stone, featuring a roof that is partly stone-tiled and partly plain tiled. The building has coped gables and paired stacks at the north end, along with a rear wall stack located behind the left end. It stands two and a half storeys tall and presents a formal east front that includes two dormer gables and a three-window arrangement. The windows are ovolo-moulded mullions with hoodmoulds, consisting of three-light outer windows and a two-light window in the center of the first floor. The ground floor outer windows are designed with mullions and transoms. The entrance features a central six-panel door set in a raised moulded surround, topped with a hood supported by scroll brackets. The south end wall has a similar ground floor mullion and transom window, along with a two-light mullion window above it. The rear stack has three diagonal shafts. A large extension was added to the rear in 1901, which includes a central gable and additional gables on the north and south sides; the south gable bears the initials G.P.F. for G.P. Fuller of Neston Park, and the west side stack is also dated 1901.
