Well Close Farm

Well Close Farm is a farmhouse dating from the 16th or 17th century, with modifications made in the 20th century. The building features square-panelled timber framing with curved bracing, rendered and painted brick infill, coursed squared and finely dressed limestone, and limestone rubble with dressed stone quoins. There is a 19th-century red brick lean-to extension, a concrete tile roof on the east-facing pitch, and artificial stone slate on the opposite side. The chimney stacks include one on a coursed squared and dressed limestone base and another projecting ashlar stack with a brick shaft.

The farmhouse has a rectangular plan with a former projecting porch on the east side. Lean-to extensions are located on either side of the porch, at the north gable end and on the west front, but these are not of special interest. The building is two storeys high.

On the east front, there is a projecting porch that is off-centre to the left, with a limestone rubble extension to the left. The majority of the house is timber-framed, except for the ground floor of the two far right-hand bays, which are built of ashlar. The gabled two-storey timber-framed porch has 20th-century windows, including single glass panes on the ground floor and a 3-light casement with a transom that projects slightly from the first floor. To the right of the porch, there is a 20th-century three-light casement window, a plank door, and a small single-light window with a flat-chamfered surround in the ashlar section. The first floor features two 2-light casements that respect the framing, along with two 20th-century single-pane windows, one above the other, in the rubble-built part to the left of the porch.

The east-facing elevation has a chimney gable that is off-centre to the right, with a moulded hood from a former 3-light stone-mullioned casement, now replaced by a 20th-century three-light casement in the ashlar-built section. The ground and first floors have single-light 2, 3, and 4-light casements, mostly with horizontal glazing bars. The building has axial, gable-end, and projecting stacks. The interior is not accessible.
