Abstract:
Prospect House Farm lies in open countryside on the northern side of the Worlingworth Road approximately 1 km south-west of Wilby church. The present farmhouse is a late-19th century unlisted brick building which replaced the earlier house shown on the tithe map of 1838. The map shows a rectangular barn at right-angles to the road along with two detached sheds that no longer survive. A series of cattle yards with shelter sheds had been added to the eastern and western elevations of the barn by 1885 as part of a typical mid-19th century refurbishment, but these were almost completely rebuilt in brick and are no longer of historic interest. The pantiled barn at the centre of the modern complex is a timber-framed structure of considerable historic significance. It consists of a three-bay 16th century threshing barn with evidence of a distinctively East Anglian queen-post roof and a central entrance facing a yard in front of the house in the traditional manner. The fourth bay to the south was added to the barn in the early-17th century and formed a stable with hay loft. The framing of the building's eastern elevation and part of its northern gable remains largely in situ but the studs of the rear, western elevation were removed in the late-20th century when the barn was united with the adjoining cattle yard. Barns of this relatively small scale are no longer common, but despite its historic interest the building fails to meet the English Heritage criteria for listing.
