Description
The Well House is a house dating from the early 18th century, with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of coursed squared rubble with brick dressings and a plain tile roof, featuring two brick gable stacks. The exterior includes quoins, dentilled eaves, and brick-coped gables. The house is two storeys plus attics, arranged in a three-bay central section and an L-shaped plan. A central part-glazed panelled door is sheltered by a gabled hood supported on brackets. To the right of the door is a reset medieval mass dial, possibly from the nearby Church of St Leonard. There are glazing bar sashes to either side of the entrance, and a single-bay addition with a matching sash window. The upper floors include smaller glazing bar sashes and three gabled dormers with two-light sliding sashes.
The interior features exposed chamfered beams to the main rooms on each floor and in the cellar. Original 18th-century two-panel doors remain, along with a late 18th-century dogleg staircase with vase and stem balusters and square newels. The roof structure consists of common rafters, largely renewed.
