Description

Watling Gate is a house built around 1910 by the architects Newton and Bayley. It is constructed of brick and features a stone slate roof, designed in a 17th-century style. The layout follows a hall-house plan with a screens passage, and the central house part is open to the roof. There are two-storey cross-wings on either side, with the left wing projecting at both the front and rear, as well as a single-storey wing at the back. The front elevation has a single-storey lean-to canopy supported by timber posts.

The house includes four 2-light casement windows in the gabled crosswing, and two 5-light timber mullion and transom windows in the house part, one of which is a dormer window at the upper level. Additionally, there is a 3-light mullion and transom window in the right-hand bay, accompanied by a 5-light dormer window. The chimney stacks are stone capped, with the one at the crossing featuring four diagonally set shafts arranged in a cross formation.

Inside, the house has a panelled passage and house part, with a gallery on two sides of the house part accessible by a staircase with splat balusters. There is an inglenook fireplace with a gallery above it, along with three exposed queen-post trusses and exposed joists. Watling Gate is noted as an interesting and complete example of the local vernacular revival style.
