Description

Wickets Beer Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th century, with 19th-century additions. It is constructed of local stone rubble that is roughly coursed, with Ham stone dressings, and features a thatched roof that is hipped at one end. An extension has a Welsh slate roof between coped gables, and there are two brick chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high with an attic and has a continuous outshut on the north side, which is part of the original structure.

The south elevation consists of four bays, with the fourth bay being the later addition. It has hollow chamfer mullioned windows with leaded panes, positioned under a continuous string course for bays one to three, while bay four and all first-floor windows have separate labels. The lower windows are four-light, and the upper ones are three-light. There is a stone porch with a corrugated iron roof located between bays two and three, and a three-light timber casement dormer is situated under the sweep of the thatch. The interior has not been inspected, but it has been described in unpublished reports from the 1970s.
