Willhayne House

Willhayne House is a farmhouse that has been converted into a dwelling. It dates from the late medieval period, with a ceiling added in the 16th century, and it was altered and enlarged in the 18th century. The house underwent restoration in the mid-20th century. The exterior is rendered over random rubble, and it features a thatched roof that is hipped to the right, with an 18th-century brick stack to the left of the entrance and an external stone stack on the left gable end.

The layout consists of an open hall house that has been ceiled to create a three-cell structure with a cross passage facing west, and the south end has been enlarged. The building is one and a half storeys tall with five bays and irregular fenestration. It includes 20th-century wooden and uPVC casements, with two three-light dormers rising through the eaves on the first floor, a two-light dormer to the right, and two three-light casements set below the eaves to the right. On the ground floor, there are two three-light casements on the left and a four-light early 19th-century leaded iron casement to the left of the entrance, along with three-light casements and French windows beyond.

The interior has been significantly altered, but there is evidence of a smoke-blackened jointed cruck truss roof. The through passage screen has been removed, leading to a long narrow room on the right that features roughly dressed beams. There is a large hall stack with a recess, which may have housed a former bread oven, and a small cupboard.
