Wendron House

Wendron House is a house that has been converted into a day centre. It was remodeled in 1874 from an earlier 19th-century house and extended at the rear in 1997. The building is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and has a stuccoed front. It features a slate hipped roof with a moulded eaves soffit and has brick axial and gable-end stacks.

The house has a square double-depth main front block with a range across the back and a late 20th-century rear wing. It stands three storeys tall with a symmetrical three-bay south front. This front includes two large, two-storey semi-circular bay windows on the left and right, which have large bowed sashes with 15 and 12 panes. The first-floor windows are adorned with moulded architraves and keyblocks, while the second floor features pairs of sashes on the left and right, and a single sash window at the centre, supported by pilasters on small brackets below the stringcourse. The central doorway is framed by a stone portico with fluted pilasters, a round arch, and a six-panel door behind a rectangular overlight.

On the east elevation, there is a bay on the right that is slightly advanced, topped with a pediment and a Venetian stair window. The west elevation features a large two-storey canted bay window. The stringcourses continue along the east and west returns, and there is a range at the back with a gable-end to the west.

Inside, most of the 19th-century joinery remains intact, along with some 19th-century chimneypieces. Wendron House was previously known as The Mount and was owned by James Green, a nail master from Bromsgrove. The building is included in the heritage register for its historical interest and the quality of its facade.
