Description
Waxway Farmhouse is a 17th-century building featuring two storeys, with rendered cob walls and a hipped thatched roof. The farmhouse has a T-shaped layout, with a later two-storey projection to the north that has a slate roof. The north side has few windows, while the main front, facing south, includes five mainly modern casement windows and a central entrance with a small porch supported by wooden posts. An 1809 map indicates the name as Weeksway, and a stone in the west end gable is inscribed with the date 1591. The entrance features a six-panel door that is diagonally crossboarded on the inside and was formerly fitted with H hinges and straps. Inside, the ground floor room has a beam, a cross beam, and wall beams that create four deep moulded panels in the ceiling.
