Description

Hugginswick Farmhouse, also known as Wick Farmhouse, is a Grade II listed building that has been subdivided into two cottages. It dates from the early to mid 19th century, although it likely has origins from the 16th or 17th century. The structure is made of plastered local stone and flint rubble, with stone rubble stacks topped by 19th-century brick chimney shafts and a slate roof.

The farmhouse has a T-plan layout, with the main block facing south and built down a hillslope. It features a three-room-and-through-passage plan. The parlour room is located at the left (west) end and has a projecting end stack. Next to it is the passage that contains the main staircase, although the rear doorway of the passage is now blocked. The center room was the former dining room and has an axial stack that backs onto the passage. At the right (east) end is an untreated dairy or buttery. A kitchen block with a one-room plan projects at right angles to the rear of the central dining room. Despite the layout suggesting earlier origins, there are no elements or details predating the 19th century.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and features a regular but not symmetrical four-window front, with original 19th-century casements that contain rectangular panes of leaded glass. The ground floor right window of the dairy has internal shutters and is covered with metal gauze. The front doorway of the passage is located left of center and features a 19th-century part-glazed door behind a late 19th-century gabled porch with trellis side walls. The roof is gable-ended to the left and hipped to the right. The rear also has similar original casements. Inside, the farmhouse retains a significant amount of original early to mid-19th-century joinery detail, although the roof has not been inspected.
