Talton House

Talton House is a house dating from the late 17th century, with additions from the 18th century. It is constructed of squared, coursed limestone, featuring ashlar quoins and coped gables, topped with tile and slate roofs. The house has 2 storeys plus an attic and presents a 7-window range with a complex plan. The front facade consists of three gabled bays, with the left bay projecting slightly and gables on each side.

On the ground and first floors, there is a series of seven 20th-century cross casements with stone lintels and stone sills, the right side of which has quoin surrounds. The front also includes two gabled bays separated by a one-storey range that features a large gabled porch at the center. The porch has double part-glazed doors with a chamfered surround and a lintel with a keyblock, flanked by small pointed lancets. The door within the porch is part-glazed, with an overlight and a panelled surround.

The right gable contains one 20th-century cross casement on each floor, both with stone lintels and quoin surrounds. The left gable features 20th-century French doors with flanking windows, above which is an 18th-century twelve-pane sash with a stone lintel. Extending to the left is a late 18th-century two-storey range, built of stone below and brick above. The ground floor on the left has a 12-pane sash with a lintel and keyblock, while the right has an 8-pane sash with a lintel and keyblock. The center features a pair of round-headed lights with a brick central mullion. The first floor has a range of three 12-pane sashes.

At the rear, the building has two 17th-century gabled bays, one of which is partially blocked by a two-storey brick range. The right gabled bay has additional 20th-century cross casements, along with one original horizontal sliding 12-pane sash in the gable. The right facade has four blocked openings and four 20th-century cross casements with stone flat arches. Attached to the rear is a stone stable block with an old tile roof, now used as garages, featuring three plank doors with lintels and keyblocks, and one window to the center left with a lintel and keyblock. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
