Description
Wrimstone Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, which was remodeled in the 19th century. It is constructed of rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with a hipped slate roof. The building features a rubble stack with a brick shaft at the rear, a brick stack at the left end, and a truncated stack behind the hall. The original layout was likely a three-room cross-passage plan, with an outbuilding at the lower end that was converted in the early to mid-19th century to create an additional room and staircase. The farmhouse has two storeys and a six-window range, with 19th and 20th-century windows. It includes two gabled slated porches with crested ridge tiles, and the right-side porch is made of brick. The inner door on the left is six-panelled, while the right-side porch has a plank door.
Inside, the rooms on either side of the cross-passage feature chamfered beams with run-out stops. The dairy fittings remain intact, and some early joinery can be found in the room to the left of the cross-passage. The roof structure is from the 18th or 19th century, with a 20th-century roof added on top, and there are no signs of smoke blackening.
