Description
Wayfarer is a two-storey building with just over one unit still intact. The front features timber framing under a slate roof, set on a low stone plinth. The lower section has two tiers of box panelled framing beneath the mid-rail and one tier above, with plaster infill in the panels. The upper storey includes a small two-light iron casement window with small-pane glazing located just under the eaves, likely dating from the early 19th century.
On the ground floor, there is a shop front that has a boarded door to the right and a replaced four-light wooden window with quarry glazing to the left, which is fitted with boarded shutters. Beneath the shop window is rubble stone infill, and to the right of the shop front, there is a low buttress. The east gable end retains an early tie-beam truss with slightly curved posts. Above the tie-beam level, the timber framing features a collar and three vertical struts offset to the left. Below the tie-beam, there is later stone infill, with the far right soffit slightly arched, possibly indicating a former opening.
The west gable end is constructed of late 19th-century brickwork and has a two-light small-pane casement window on the ground floor. The rear of the building shows a tier of timber framing under the eaves and includes a small skylight in the roof pitch. Below this is an irregular flat-roofed extension with a corrugated iron roof, situated between the stone boundary walls of adjacent properties, featuring a 20th-century wooden door to the right of the east wall.
Inside, the roof retains an internal tie-beam truss, set slightly in from the west end. This tie-beam is reinforced by curved braces, and the posts are also slightly curved, similar to those at the east end. The ceiling above the collar level is finished, and fragments of wind-braces, now plastered over, can be seen beneath the purlins at the front and rear. The upper storey includes a gallery accessed by a quarter-turn wooden staircase to the left, which has a moulded handrail and a pyramidal cap on the newel post. The gallery front features plain wooden railings, while the ground floor ceiling consists of plain joists.
