Wellparks And Attached Farmbuildings To North

Wellparks is an estate farmhouse dating from around 1840, which is said to have been rebuilt following a fire. It includes a block of agricultural buildings to the rear that have been partly converted for accommodation and are part of a planned farmyard. The farmhouse is constructed of Flemish bond red brick on local volcanic trap rubble footings and features a hipped slate roof with deep eaves. There are brick end and rear axial stacks with corbelled shafts.

The farmhouse has a U-shaped plan, consisting of a single depth main block that is three rooms wide, with an entrance located to the left of the center. There are rear wings at right angles, with the left wing containing a principal room and the right wing serving as the kitchen. A dairy addition with a lean-to roof has partly filled the north courtyard between the wings. Additionally, there is a brewery wing at the rear of the house and a stable wing to the north of the courtyard.

The exterior of the farmhouse is two storeys high and features an asymmetrical four-window front. The front door, located to the left of center, is framed by a doorcase with panelled pilasters and reveals. It has a six-panel front door, with the upper panels being glazed and an overlight with geometric glazing bars. All windows have flat gauged brick arches and are fitted with early 19th-century small pane iron-framed casements: three-light in the outer bays, two-light above the front door, and four-light in the bay to the right of the front door. The left return of the building has a mix of casements, some of which are secondary, and there is a segmental-headed brick archway through the rear left wing leading to the rear courtyard, separating the farmhouse from the brewery. The rear elevation of the brewery features a flight of external stone steps leading up to the first floor. The stable block has deep eaves that match the house and doors on the north side.

Inside, the house retains original early 19th-century features, including joinery and a stick baluster staircase.
