- Welland Farmhouse
- II

Farmhouse. Early-mid C17. Plastered cob on rubble footings; volcanic rubble stacks
topped with C20 brick; thatched roof. 3-room plan house facing south with
projecting right (east) end stack and large axial stack serving central room. Lobby
entry. 2 storeys. Irregular 3-window front comprising a variety of late C19 and
C20 casements, most with glazing bars. Door is left of centre with C20 hipped and
thatched-roofed porch with glazed sides. End stack of exposed rubble. Roof is
hipped each end.
Interior: little modernised. Left (west) and centre rooms have chamfered beams with
late step stops, the former axial and latter a cross beam. All fireplaces are
blocked and left room was maybe unheated. No carpentry is exposed in right (east)
room beyond full height cob crosswall and is possibly an addition. Roof
inaccessible but lower sections of principals suggest that original A-frame truss
roof survives.
