Bannut Tree House

House, dating from 1890, designed by C F A Voysey. Originally known as Walnut Tree Farm, it is now called Bannut Tree House. The house is constructed of roughcast with applied timber framing and has a tile roof. It is arranged in an L-shape and has a single storey with an attic. Windows are mullioned with leaded glazing in rectangular panes. The south facade, which faces the garden, features four gabled attic dormers, with applied close-studding above the windows, and a smaller dormer with a flat roof. The upper storey oversails and is supported on buttresses. A plaque inscribed "1890" is positioned at first floor level. A chimney is visible to the right of the first attic dormer, with a splayed chimney breast on the ground floor containing a window. A recessed window is situated between the chimney breast and a buttress, lighting an inglenook, and an additional recessed window follows to the right. A window set forwards, flush with the upper storey, is located under the second gable. A flat-roofed timber porch projects forward on a roughcast base to the right of the facade. The ground floor window to the right is canted, extending onto the return wall. A second chimney is located to the right of the first gable, projecting forwards from the ridge. The rear elevation has a roof that sweeps down to low eaves, and the doorway is protected by a tiled gabled canopy supported on brackets. The interior retains many original features, including fireplaces, ledged-and-braced doors with ornate wrought-iron hinges, picture rails, window seats, unchamfered ceiling beams, and a staircase with a simple stick balustrade, moulded handrail, and tall pointed newels. Preliminary and final designs, including perspectives of the garden front, are held in the RIBA drawings collection.
