Wothorpe House

Wothorpe House is a Victorian house built around 1860-1870, constructed from rock-faced stone with freestone dressings. It features a steeply pitched Collyweston stone roof with wide eaves and arched brace timber-frame gables supported by brackets on corbel heads. The house has two storeys and an attic, with an asymmetrical north-west front that includes a slightly advanced gable on the right. The ground floor features a square bay with cusped arch lights and wide eaves on brackets, while above it is a window with three shouldered arch lights. There is a central semi-dormer with a gable on brackets. On the left side, there is a two-storeyed gabled porch with diagonal angle buttresses and a moulded arch doorway that has the Burghley arms above it, along with a first-floor Gothic traceried two-light window. The south-west garden front has advanced twin gables on the right, an oriel, and a ground floor canted bay with a square first-floor bay rising from a hipped roof. Large stone chimney stacks with slits between the square shafts add to the character of the house. Inside, the hall features a fireplace with a corbelled stone hood, moulded ceiling beams with arched braces on corbels, and chamfered joists. The open-well staircase has Gothic traceried balusters.
