Description
Wambrook Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around 1840. It is constructed from random rubble local stone with Ham stone dressings and features a steeply pitched slate roof with coped verges. The building has brick stacks on the right gable end, which rise from the coped verge below, and an iron stack on the left gable end. The farmhouse is double-piled and has two storeys with three bays. The gables of the outer bay windows project through the eaves, with 2-light casements on the first floor and 3-light casements on the ground floor, flanking a central single-storey porch. The porch has coped verges with a finial and a depressed pointed arch opening with a partially glazed inner door. The left return is slate hung and features a ground floor bay window. The interior has not been seen. It is noted that more attention was given to the construction of the associated farm building than to the farmhouse itself, although the farmhouse may have originally had similar glazing to the farm buildings. The farmhouse is listed primarily for its group value with the farm buildings to the north. Wambrook Farm was described as 'newly created' in 1844.
