Description

Wonnacott Farmhouse is a farmhouse with a 17th-century core and a remodelling from around the mid-19th century. The 17th-century wing is colourwashed and rendered, while the 19th-century block is likely brick, also colourwashed and stuccoed. The roofs are covered with asbestos slate, featuring gabled ends on the 17th-century wing, which has a projecting stone gable end stack and a ridge stack. The roof of the 19th-century block is hipped, with rendered stacks at each end.

The original 17th-century structure was likely a three-room house with a through passage, of which the inner room and hall, with a stack backing onto the passage, still exist. In the mid-19th century, a new block was added at right angles to the original house, with the 17th-century hall now serving as a kitchen for the 19th-century house. The farmhouse is two storeys high, featuring a three-bay front elevation with a central porch that has a sloping slate roof. The porch is rusticated, with vermiculated keystones above the round-headed outer door and two round-headed windows on the sides, and it originally had a battlemented parapet.

The front door is a four-panel design, with porch windows featuring margin glazing and coloured glass borders. Above the porch, there is a 12-pane sash window, and the outer bays have 16-pane sashes. A one-bay, two-storey lean-to addition on the right end also has 16-pane sashes. The rear wing includes three-light casement windows with glazing bars.

Inside, the partition wall between the hall and the inner room of the 17th-century wing has been removed. There is a large fireplace in the hall with a timber lintel that is concealed behind a later lintel. The roof trusses over the 17th-century wing are pegged and likely date from the early 19th century. The 19th-century block features a contemporary staircase with stick balusters.
