Description

Wick Hill Farmhouse is a Grade II listed building marked as Prescott Hill Farm on the 6-inch Ordnance Survey map. It was originally three cottages that have been combined into one house. The farmhouse dates from the early 19th century and was likely built by Thomas Peacey, with extensions added in the mid to late 19th century by Lord Ellenborough. The structure is made of coursed squared and dressed limestone, featuring finely squared and dressed quoins, and has a stone slate roof along with sections of slate and concrete tile roofing.

The building has a rectangular plan for the early range, with a smaller later range that runs parallel to the rear. It is two storeys high with an attic and features a four-windowed facade. The ground floor includes three 3-light and one 2-light stone-mullioned casements, while the first floor has one 3-light and three 2-light stone-mullioned casements. There is a blocked doorway with a timber lintel that extends over an adjoining window towards the south gable end. Access to the house is now through a central 20th-century plank door with a concrete lintel, and there are also 20th-century double glass doors with steel frames and a stone lintel, along with another blocked opening towards the north gable end. A two-light slate-hung roof dormer is present, as well as a gable-end dovecote with landings. The later range features two and 3-light stone-mullioned casements. The main body of the farmhouse has axial and gable-end stacks, with flat coping and roll-cross saddles on the later range. The interior has not been inspected.
