Description
Wharton House and the attached barn date back to 1714 and feature later additions. The house has limewashed rubble walls and a 20th-century reproduction slate roof with stone chimneys at either end. It is two storeys high and has two bays, with a lower entrance bay to the right that shares the roof with the barn. The entrance has a part-glazed door with an initialled and dated lintel, along with a small window above on the first floor. The main section of the house includes two paired-sash windows on each floor; these sashes are 18th-century replacements but are set in their original frames. Inside, the windows are adorned with fluted pilaster mullions, panelled shutters, and window seats. There is a panelled heck featuring an octagonal post. Most of the oak doors are late 18th to early 19th-century panelled doors, but two earlier 18th-century panelled doors with reeded rails and stiles remain upstairs. The staircase features two turned balusters per tread and a ramped, squared handrail. The attached barn, a late 18th to early 19th-century structure, is an eight-bay threshing barn made of coursed rubble with a graduated slate roof, stone coping, and kneelers at the ends. It has a central wagon door with a segmental head, while later projecting extensions to the front are not included in the listing.
