Wiverton Hall Including Service Range To Rear Left

Wiverton Hall is a small country house with a late 15th-century gatehouse, substantially altered in 1814 in a Tudor Revival style. The main building is of rendered brick, with the gatehouse constructed in ashlar. It has a hipped roof concealed behind a deep castellated parapet, and tall ridge stacks. The symmetrical facade has five bays, with the corners and central bay accentuated by octagonal buttresses rising as tall, castellated turrets. A central rib-vaulted porte-cochere is flanked by corner buttresses and turrets. Above the porte-cochere is a gothic arched window with glazing bars. Tall, three-light mullioned windows with square heads, hood moulds, and gothic-arched lights are situated to the left and right of the porte-cochere, with shorter, similar windows on the first floor. A single-story addition sits to the left, featuring a single three-light window. The right return has one bay with a three-light ground-floor window, and a further polygonal bay set back with a two-light gothic window on each floor. A similar polygonal bay is present on the left return, incorporating a tall stair window.

The rear of the former gatehouse is of stone and features three round, angle turrets (one at each end and between the two bays). The central turret contains the main arched entrance with a moulded surround. The left bay has a wide arched entrance, now partially blocked, with a moulded surround. Above is a deeply recessed and roll-moulded four-light mullioned window. The right bay features single lights at ground and intermediate levels, and a two-light mullioned window at the upper level, matching the left bay. Two cross-loops are visible within the central turret. A castellated parapet tops the structure.

A service range, L-shaped and of stuccoed brickwork with a slate roof, adjoins the rear left, approximately three bays long, and is characterised by mainly tripartite casement windows.

The interior features an octagonal entrance hall with a ribbed ceiling supported by triple colonnettes. Six-panel doors incorporate moulded architraves. A Regency staircase, open-well with a traceried iron balustrade and a wooden handrail (ramped at the top and rolled at the bottom), rises with stone treads featuring shaped soffits. A groin-vaulted ceiling and a Regency fireplace are found within a former carriageway of the gatehouse, now a room.
