Wolverley Court

This is a large house, now operating as a nursing home. It was originally built around 1600 for the Attwood family and significantly altered and refaced between approximately 1820 and 1830. The ground and first floors are constructed from squared and coursed sandstone from around 1600, with a 17th-century brick facing to the third floor, which has been colour-washed. The front and a right-hand wing feature early 19th-century stucco rendering, and there are hipped Welsh slate roofs with brick ridge and end stacks.

The house has a roughly L-shaped layout, including a rear right wing. It is three storeys high, with a five-window front. A projecting three-storey entrance bay is distinguished by Doric columns supporting a portico in front of a six-panelled door. Above the portico is a hipped roof over a bay window featuring three 15-pane sashes. Flat rendered arches are above the 15-pane sashes and to the left of the porch; there are 12-pane sashes on the first floor and six-pane sashes on the second floor. A side wall features a six-light chamfered stone-mullioned and transomed window on the first floor, a four-light chamfered stone-mullioned window on the second floor, both dating to around 1600, and two early 19th-century 16-pane sashes. The rear elevation has similar mullioned and transomed windows of up to three lights, a blocked doorway from around 1600, and early 19th-century sashes within the rear right wing. An early 19th-century two-storey, single-bay extension with sashes is located to the right, and a one-storey service range is attached to the left.

The cellar, dating from around 1600 and built of coursed and dressed sandstone, contains a wood bressummer over an open fireplace with a bread oven. This suggests the room was used as a basement kitchen during the late 16th and 17th centuries. The rest of the interior is from the early 19th century, with features such as moulded plaster cornices, panelled doors set in panelled reveals, and a panelled room to the left. The large entrance hall contains a dog-leg staircase with stick balusters, fret-cut brackets, and a wreathed handrail.
