Description
Walton House, along with its attached boundary wall and lych gate, was built in 1886 by architect Watson Fothergill in Nottingham. The house features red brick construction with a rock-faced stone basement, ashlar and black brick dressings, and timber framing with patterned brick nogging. It has gabled and hipped plain tile roofs topped with three tall, moulded brick stacks. Most of the windows are original plain sashes set in cross mullioned wooden frames. The building has two and three storeys, plus a basement and attics, arranged in a U-plan on a sloping corner site.
The garden front, facing southeast, has a recessed centre flanked by a square tower on the left and a gabled bay on the right. In the centre, there are double steps leading up to a landing with a ramped coped balustrade wall. A glazed lean-to porch sits between the wings, featuring a central door and two windows above. The left tower has a pyramidal roof and a coped side wall stack, with a hipped bay window of three lights below a smaller three-light window on the second floor, which is timber-framed. The right wing includes a hipped, canted bay window with five lights and a segment-arched three-light window above.
At the rear, there is a lean-to projection with stepped coped side walls, topped by a canted bay window with an octagonal spire roof. Above this, on the left, is a hipped dormer, and the rear wing has a single-storey hipped projection. The boundary wall, made of rock-faced stone and brick, runs along the rear of the property on Newcastle Drive, curving semicircularly to Tattershall Drive. The brick section features a plinth, buttresses, and shaped brick coping, while the central gabled lych gate has a panelled door. The brick section follows the curve with an increasingly deep stone plinth, and the stone section facing Tattershall Drive has stepped rubble coping and a plain gateway. The total length of the boundary wall is approximately 75 meters.
