Higher Weddicott Farmhouse

Higher Weddicott Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the mid to late 18th century, with modernizations occurring in the late 19th century and again around 1982. It is constructed from plastered granite stone rubble and features granite stacks, two of which have plastered brick chimney shafts, while one has a granite ashlar chimney shaft. The roof is thatched.

The building has an L-shaped plan, with the main block oriented towards the east-north-east. It consists of a two-room layout with a central entrance lobby and staircase. The right room serves as the parlour and has a rear lateral stack, while the left room features a front projecting lateral stack in a gable, with the roof extending backward over the rear block. The rear room, originally an unheated store, was converted into a kitchen around 1982 and now includes an end stack.

The exterior has a two-window front with 20th-century casements, the oldest of which includes glazing bars, positioned towards the right end. The front doorway is roughly central and features a plank door behind a 20th-century porch with a monopitch roof made of corrugated plastic. The roof is hipped to the right. The left side of the farmhouse has a more or less symmetrical three-window front, also with similar 20th-century casements, and a central plank door behind a 20th-century glass-walled porch.

Inside, the farmhouse primarily reflects the changes made during the 19th century, but exposed carpentry details suggest an 18th-century structure. The front parlour has a crossbeam, while the left room contains an axial beam, both with plain soffit chamfers. The beam in the rear kitchen is boxed in. The roof features A-frame trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars, and much of the structural timber is made of elm. The fireplaces have been blocked by 19th and 20th-century grates, and most of the joinery details are from the 19th century. The oldest door, a plank door with cover strips, is located between the main and rear blocks at ground floor level.
