Description
Barrel Well House is a detached house, now divided into flats, built around 1840. The structure is made of brick, which is now covered in pebbledash, and features a slate roof. It has two storeys on the entrance front and three storeys on the garden side, with a total of seven windows. The house has flush end-gable chimneys and one ridge chimney located towards the right.
The entrance front, which faces northeast, includes a projecting central wing. The door consists of six tall, narrow fielded panels set in a substantial case with pilasters and an entablature. The window arrangement has been altered and includes several flush 12-pane sash windows with rendered architraves.
The garden face, which is prominent from the River Dee and the meadows beyond, features a verandah on the ground floor and a continuous balcony under a hipped canopy on the first floor, supported by slender columns. The wall behind the verandah has undergone some alterations; it likely originally had a central French window flanked by three 12-pane sashes on each side, which have now been replaced with a one-pane glazed door and a 12-pane margined window in a small projection to the left, with two sashes to the left and three to the right of the door.
On the first floor, there are seven full-height 15-pane sash windows with architraves, and the front of the balcony features fretted segmental-arched heads and simple railings. The second floor has a sill band and seven 12-pane sash windows. The interiors have not been inspected. This building was likely formed by uniting two detached mid-19th century houses, which were later remodeled in the late 19th century.
