Weir House

Weir House is an early 19th-century house that incorporates parts of an earlier building, with later additions and alterations. The construction is of pebbledashed limestone rubble, with a steep-pitched hipped slate roof having deep eaves to the main range and a hipped plain tile roof to the earlier rear range. The earliest part of the house is a range set at a right angle to the rear on the right, likely dating from the 17th century. The main range features three bays, with a late 19th-century addition slightly set back to the left. The house is two storeys and has an attic, with three windows featuring 16-paned glazing bar sashes. A mid-20th-century canted bay sash window is located on the lower right. Two mid-20th-century flat-roofed rectangular dormers are present in the roof slope on the left and right. The central entrance has 20th-century half-glazed double doors, an early 19th-century wreathed and radiating fanlight, and is sheltered by an open round-arched timber porch with fluted Doric columns. Red brick stacks are located on the rear wall to the left and right. The right wall has a cross-window on each floor; the upper window has 19th-century leaded lights, and the lower window has 20th-century leaded lights. The range at a right angle to the rear has a gabled eaves dormer on the left and a small gabled dormer in the roof slope on the right. There are two 19th-century casements to the centre on the ground floor, and a small 20th-century window to the right.

Inside, a framed newel staircase, likely late 18th century, has turned balusters (three to each tread), an open string, and carved pendants. Six-panel doors are found throughout the house, and there are several Adam-style marble fireplaces, including one in the right ground-floor room of the main range. This fireplace has an earlier cast-iron fireback inscribed "17 SC 07". This room also has a round-arched alcove (bookcase) to the left of the fireplace with carved scallop shell decoration at the top. The earlier rear range has boxed-in spine beams. 19th and mid-20th century flat-roofed additions in the angle to the rear are not considered to be of special architectural interest. The house has group value.
