Description
Wick Farmhouse is a farmhouse with probable origins in the 13th century, with alterations from the 17th and 18th centuries. It is constructed of random rubble Doulting stone and features a stone slate gabled roof with a quarter hip on the left side and rubble stone chimney stacks off the ridge. The building is two stories and originally had an 'L'-plan but has been truncated to a rectangular shape. It has five bays and a four-window frontage, with the entrance located between the third and fourth windows. The fenestration is mixed, including one sash window, one stone-framed oval window with four keys, one 19th-century casement window, and three two-light moulded stone mullioned window frames with casements.
The most notable external feature is an obtuse pointed stone door frame of early English style, which has deeply undercut roll mouldings and arched drip-moulds. Inside, the ground floor has stop-moulded chamfered beams of excessive proportions and a large medieval fireplace, which is partly concealed and has a heavy wooden lintel. The roof features arch-braced raised cruck frames, stop-chamfered plates, two stop-chamfered purlins with diagonal arched windbracing, and a heavily blackened square ridge piece. It is said that the farmhouse was once the property of Hinton Charterhouse Priory.
