Description
Wolfreton House is a house dating from around 1815, constructed of yellow brick with stone dressings and topped with graduated slate roofs. The building has two storeys and features four bays on its garden front. The ground floor includes a plinth and a sill band, with three 4-pane sash windows under cambered wedge lintels on the right side. To the left is a similar window, now filled with coloured glass and hidden behind a 20th-century conservatory. The first floor has a band and sill band, with four sashes that have sills and glazing bars, also under cambered wedge lintels, and fitted with louvred shutters. The eaves cornice is bracketed and timber, and the roof is hipped with end stacks.
On the entrance elevation, which is also two storeys and has two bays, the left bay extends as a canted bay that rises to the full height of the house. A projecting porch supported by unfluted Doric columns features a full pediment. The entrance has a round-headed glazed door set within a round-headed architrave with a keyblock. To the right of the door is a sash window with glazing bars under a cambered wedge lintel. Above, there is a 4-pane sash with a sill over a blank balustered panel in the canted bay, and a similar 9-pane unequal sash at first-floor level. The eaves cornice is also bracketed, and there is a stack on the inner side of the canted bay.
Inside, the house features a cut-string stair with stick balusters and a ramped and wreathed handrail. The canted bay contains original fireplaces beneath the windows on both the ground and first floors, with flues that run up the inside face of the bay. The ground-floor room is separated from the rear room by a pair of large sliding doors with raised and beaded panelling.
