Walnut Trees

Walnut Trees is an 18th-century house altered in the early 19th century. It is a two-story and attic, T-plan building. The exterior is gault brick with red brick dressings. The roof is modern plain tiles with tumbled brick parapet gables and end stacks. A modillioned eaves cornice runs along the top of the building. Dormer windows are visible in the roof, each featuring two hung sash windows with glazing bars. The central doorway has a six-panelled door and a rectangular fanlight, sheltered by a doorcase featuring fluted, engaged Doric columns, a decorated frieze, and plain reveals. Bow windows with three hung-sash windows and glazing bars, along with moulded cornices and frieze decoration, project from the front. Two first-floor hung sash windows with glazing bars and flat arches flank a central, round-headed hung sash window. Inside, a fine early 19th-century staircase is present. A wrought iron sign, created in 1914 by Belgian war refugee Pitoors, is also notable. The house was once the home of the Tebbutt family.
