Description

The Walnuts is a house dating from the 17th century and late 18th century, constructed of red brick with a plain tile roof and decorative ridge tiles. It features gable stacks, with the western stack being external, and has a sawtooth eaves cornice. The building is two storeys high and has a T-plan layout. The south elevation consists of five bays, with a central ashlar doorcase that has an open pediment and moulded pilasters. The entrance includes a panelled door with a traceried fanlight, flanked by two glazing bar sash windows with keyed wedge stone lintels. There are five similar windows on the upper floor.

Inside, there is an open string stick baluster staircase with a ramped handrail. One room on the ground floor has an Adam style chimneypiece, while another features the remains of an inglenook. The entrance hall is adorned with Minton tiles. Throughout much of the 19th century, The Walnuts was home to the descendants of George Turner, who lived from 1843 to 1910.
