Description

Wibdon Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century and later. It is constructed of rendered rubble, with some exposed sections on the back walls, and has Welsh slate roofs. The building is designed in a T-plan, featuring an original wing gable facing the road and a cross-wing with hipped ends that projects centrally for a stair turret on the left. There are two rubble stacks at the eaves. A later wing on the right conceals the original entrance, with one rendered stack near the right-hand gable and back slopes of the roof covered in pantiles.

The elevation facing the road has a three-storey gable with three-light over four-light 19th-century casements, and a three-light 20th-century casement at ground level, all framed with smooth dressed surrounds in rough plastering. The low wing has two storeys and features three windows with various casements. The entrance is located far left, consisting of a 19th-century panelled door that is partially glazed, set in a heavy chamfered frame beneath a lightweight wood porch with a hipped slate roof. There is also a second 19th-century plank door in a chamfered four-centred arch stone surround, positioned under a lightweight gabled porch immediately to the left of the stack.

The rear elevation of the older wing includes an old ground floor four-light wooden 19th-century casement in a 17th-century moulded stone surround. Inside, the back room on the left features 17th-century oak panelling, likely sourced from elsewhere, and a wide stone fireplace with a very flat four-centred arch lintel and stopped mouldings on the cheeks. The corresponding front room contains a moulded stone overmantel. There is a cellar beneath part of the building. The staircase has square newels with spherical terminals, heavy turned balusters, and a moulded handrail, probably from the 17th century. Two internal doorcases have flat pointed heads, although one door, which is not in situ, remains. At the time of the survey in May 1983, the older wing was generally in need of maintenance.
