Wishays Farmhouse

Wishays Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse with later alterations, constructed from a mix of cob and stone, and plastered, under a gabled-end slate roof. Originally designed with a three-room cross passage plan, the lower end is situated to the right of the passage. It features an axial stack at the upper end of the hall and two end stacks, both of which were formerly external. The building has two storeys.

The front elevation has a five-window range. On the first floor, there are two 2-light 19th-century casement windows on the left side, each with eight panes per light made of crown glass. Additionally, there are two 12-pane hornless sash windows and one other 12-pane window, all featuring margin panes, crown glass, and coloured panes in each corner. On the ground floor, there are two 2-light casement windows, similar to those above, flanking the left-hand door, which has a 19th-century bead-mould surround. The main door, leading to the former passage, is panelled and glazed, set beneath a gabled slate-roofed timber porch, situated between the aforementioned 12-pane hornless sash windows.

The right-hand elevation includes a small inglenook window and one 1-light and one 2-light casement window, with four and eight leaded panes respectively. A 19th-century 3-light casement window is found on the left-hand elevation. At the rear, the first floor features three 3-light 19th-century casement windows with glazing bars, one of which has 12 leaded panes in the outer lights, along with a four-light window with margin panes leading to the stairwell, and a single-light window. The ground floor has one wide planked door and four 19th-century 3-light windows, one of which has eight leaded panes per light, while a fifth window retains its earlier chamfered timber mullions. The house is particularly noted for its attractive 19th-century and earlier windows.

Inside, there are remnants of a large fireplace at the right-hand end, with a bressumer that extends the entire width of the room, and a chamfered beam with hollow step stops. Between the hall and the passage, there are remains of a plank and muntin screen. In the hall, there is also a beam featuring cyma recta and concave moulding. The roof space has not been inspected.
