Description

Widlake Farmhouse is a 16th-century farmhouse that has had its walls raised and roof replaced, with alterations made in the 20th century. The building features roughcast over cob and an asbestos slate roof. There is a large lateral stack to the right of the entrance and a stone stack at the left gable end. It may have originally been an open hall house, now ceiled to create three cells and a cross passage. The farmhouse is two storeys high with a layout of two bays by two bays. A full-height shallow raking buttress spans the width of the right bay. The windows are all 20th-century casements, placed irregularly, with a ground floor gable entry that includes a plank door, a window to the right, and a gabled porch to the left of the stack, along with two additional windows to the right.

Inside, the partially visible features include chamfered beams with step and run-out stops flanking the cross passage, two load-bearing walls, and lateral joists. There is a stair turret at the rear of the hall and a depressed four-centred arch door frame on the first floor, likely indicating a cruck truss roof. The adjoining farm buildings at the southwest corner are not of special interest.
