Description
Wolfhall Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 16th century, with alterations made in the 19th century and an extension added in the late 20th century. It is constructed of red brick in English bond and features a clay plain tile roof with moulded brick eaves and gable verges. The building has a large gable end stack with four rebuilt octagonal shafts topped with star caps and moulded bases. The plan is L-shaped, with a large gable stack on the north side, a doorway on the west side, a late 19th-century porch in the southeast angle, and a late 20th-century extension on the north.
The farmhouse has two storeys and an attic, with gabled elevations that include 2, 3, and 4-light chamfered stone mullion window frames fitted with casements. There is a brick plinth surrounding the original building. The west side features a chamfered stone 4-centred arch doorway, which has been converted into a window. The late 19th-century porch is located in the southeast angle, and the late 20th-century brick wing is on the north side.
Inside, the farmhouse contains 19th-century joinery, including a staircase and panelled doors. There is a stop-chamfered door frame on the first floor, and a large fireplace on the ground floor with chamfered stone jambs and a timber bressumer. The attic features a moulded 4-centred arch stone fireplace. The original roof structure, which includes queen-posts, clasped purlins, and common-rafter couples, remains intact. The farmhouse is situated about 200 metres north of Wolf Hall Manor.
