Description
The Old Farmhouse is a Grade II listed building located in Wilbarston, originally shown as Home Farm on the Ordnance Survey map. This farmhouse, now a house, likely dates from the mid-18th century and was remodeled in the mid-19th century for the Pipewell Hall estate. It features a limestone ashlar exterior with a patterned slate roof and has an L-shaped plan across two storeys.
The main front has a four-window range with 19th-century lozenge panes and cast iron glazing bars set under shallow stone arches on the first floor, while the ground floor has 20th-century casements. The two leftmost windows are in their original openings and have gauged stone heads. A 19th-century panelled door is located to the left of centre and is sheltered by a wooden gabled porch. The building has brick and stone stacks with diagonal flues at the ridge and end.
The left side elevation features windows with cast iron glazing bars. Inside, the room to the left contains an open fireplace with a bressumer. The Old Farmhouse is part of a group of houses that were upgraded by the Pipewell Hall estate in the early 19th century.
