Willhayne Farmhouse

Willhayne Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a dwelling. It dates back to the 16th century, with changes made in the 17th century and late 20th century, including a re-roofing in the 19th century and an extension of one bay to the east, which adjoins a range of farm buildings to the south. The exterior is roughcast over rubble, featuring a shallow pitch double Roman tiled roof with overhanging eaves and decorative ridge tiles. There are brick stacks located between the first and second bays on the right and to the left of the through passage.

The building has a three-cell plan with a cross passage facing south. The inner room has external access only and appears to have always been used as a store. The farmhouse is two storeys high with five bays. The first floor has 20th-century metal windows and 19th-century wooden windows. On the ground floor, there is a 20th-century metal window on the left, a three-light hollow chamfer painted stone mullioned window under a hoodmould, and an entrance marked by a 20th-century porch with a four-panel door that has inserted lights. There is also a four-light ovolo moulded painted stone mullioned window under a hoodmould, and a 20th-century metal window in the end bay on the right.

The rear elevation has not been seen but is said to have a two-light octagonal wooden mullioned window that lights the kitchen, with a butt joint to the east indicating the 19th-century addition. The farm building that abuts the southeast is made of random rubble and has a corrugated iron roof, with no windows on the south front.

The interior has not been seen but is reported to contain a stud and panel partition to the right of the through passage, with evidence suggesting a built-in bench on the kitchen side. There is a chamfered cross beam with a curved step and run-out stops, and a large blocked fireplace with a recess beside it, possibly a former curing chamber. To the left of the through passage, there is a rebuilt brick fireplace against the cross passage wall, with evidence of the original stone stack above. The roof has been replaced but shows signs of earlier long tenon jointed cruck truss construction.
