Description
No. 10 Colehill is a house that has been converted into an office. It likely dates from the 17th century but was refronted in the early 19th century. The building is constructed of pebbledashed brick with ashlar dressings, and it features some internal timber framing. It has a parapeted roof and a double-depth plan with a rear wing. The house is three storeys tall and has a symmetrical five-window range. The entrance is marked by a Tuscan porch with columns on plinths, leading up steps to a small-paned half-glazed door. The windows have sills and horned sashes with margin lights, with smaller windows on the second floor. The rear wing includes a large cross-axial stack.
Inside, there is exposed timber framing, particularly on the upper floors. The attic reveals exposed 17th-century brickwork and queen-strut trusses. The central open-well staircase features column-on-vase balusters, square newels, and ramped handrails. This building was once the home of General Bailey Willington, who lived from 1755 to 1822 and served as an artillery commander during the siege of Gibraltar in 1782.
