Description
Wool House is a house dating from the early to mid-18th century, located on the north side of Tynemouth Well Close. The building is constructed of painted rendered rubble and features a pantiled roof with a brick chimney at the left end. It has two storeys and one wide bay. The front includes a renewed glazed door on the left and a 20th-century window on the right, positioned beneath a first-floor sash window that has broad glazing bars and an ovolo-moulded lintel set into the surround.
The rear elevation facing Lovaine Row displays a high irregular plinth and two small square windows, one of which is positioned under a sash window and the other is a fire-window opening. The interior contains an enclosed stair on the left and 18th-century hinges on plank doors leading to an upper room and a cupboard in that room.
