Wharf House

Wharf House is a house built around 1799, constructed of brick with a dentil course at the eaves and a stepped verge. It features a plain-tile roof, with brick gable-end and central ridge stacks. The main block has 20th-century extensions at both ends and the rear.

The exterior is two stories tall with cellars. The south front has a two-window range of 3/3 sash windows with gauged brick lintels, and 6/6 sash windows at the ground floor. This is flanked by a central projecting two-storey brick bow, which has a curved 3/3 sash window and a 6/6 sash window at the ground floor, topped with a semi-conical tiled roof. The cellars have brick segmental-arched openings.

To the left, there is a single-storey brick tiled gabled 20th-century extension with a multi-pane bow window. The right-hand gable end features the front entrance to the left of a projecting stack, with a boarded door set in 20th-century rubble stone surrounds beneath a projecting canopy. There is also a two-storey brick tiled gabled extension to the right, while the left gable end is covered by a single-storey extension. The rear of the house is partly obscured by a two-storey extension wing and includes a tall staircase window.

Inside, the house retains original moulded creased boarded doors in moulded frames throughout. The cellar contains large brick-vaulted storerooms with renewed oak boarded doors. Historically, the house served as the headquarters of the Kington and Leominster Canal Company, which was formed in 1791 and closed in 1858.
