Wishanger Farmhouse

Wishanger Farmhouse is a large, detached house dating from the mid- to late 16th century, with an early 17th-century porch and a west addition constructed around 1721. It was restored in 1868 for Sir John Rolt. The house is built of random and coursed rubble limestone, with ashlar chimneys and a stone slate roof. It has an L-shaped plan, consisting of a two-storey main block and a two-storey west range.

The front elevation features the earlier part of the house to the right, with a central, two-storey, parapet-gabled porch with an attic. The porch has narrow pilaster strips framing a moulded, square-headed opening, and a continuous drip course above. The upper floor of the porch contains a three-light recessed cavetto mullioned casement, while the attic has a two-light window with a hoodmould. An escutcheon bearing arms and an angled sundial, dated 1721, are also situated above the opening; this date may correspond to the addition of the west range. A projecting chimney to the left of the porch is corbelled out at upper floor level, with a shaft featuring a moulded cap. The front elevation has three-light ground floor and two-light upper floor recessed cavetto mullioned casements on either side of the porch. Chimneys with diagonal shafts and moulded caps are located at each gable end of the front range. To the left is a higher range with a three-window frontage, all with two-light chamfered mullioned casements, with leaded glass to the upper floor. The ground floor casements have a continuous hoodmould rising over the smaller two-light window to the right, with an oval window above, presumed to have been a doorway originally.

The rear wing has diagonal offset buttresses and likely represents the earliest part of the house. The gable end of this wing features single-window fenestration: a three-light window to the ground and upper floors, and a two-light window to the attic, all with recessed cavetto mullioned detailing. An inscription tablet reads: 'RESTAURAVIT / JOHANNES ROLT MILES / PER TEMPUS DOLORIS / ANNO DOMINI MDCCCLXVIII', indicating Sir John Rolt's restoration in 1868. A chimney gable with paired diagonal shafts is found on the west side of the wing. The rear of the main range has mixed mullioned fenestration, including a ground floor lean-to with a two-light, trefoil-headed casement. The east end features mostly 19th-century restored mullioned windows.

Inside, a room at the rear has a moulded Tudor arched fireplace with lozenge and flower decorated stops. The majority of the house was refitted in the 19th century. A barn and stable, located to the southwest of the house, are linked by a round archway.
