Coney Weston House

Coney Weston House is a house that dates from part of the early 17th century and part of the mid-18th century, with later extensions. It features a combination of timber-framed and rendered sections, but is mainly encased in red brick from around 1870. There is also an early 20th-century single-storey extension along the south side. The roofs are covered with unusual angular Roman tiles. The house has one internal chimney stack with a sawtooth shaft and an oversailing top course, and it mainly has large-paned sash windows.

The entrance features a doorcase with a flat pediment, console brackets, and raised panels on the jambs, leading to a four-panelled door with a plain rectangular fanlight. The oldest part of the house is a two-cell range at the north end, aligned east-west, which likely formed the original building. The internal chimney stack, with back-to-back hearths, heated the two rooms on the ground floor. On the west side, the fireplace has a plastered arched surround and is lined with antique blue-and-white Delft tiles. The main beams are ovolo-moulded, and there is a small three-light ovolo-moulded mullioned window on the south side, which was part of a larger window, with another similar window outline visible in the plaster of the upper storey.

A small wing extends northwards at right angles from this range. The central section of the house contains a large entrance hall, featuring a fine 18th-century staircase with moulded balusters and a sinuous handrail that continues to form a gallery on the upper landing. The south side has a range of three Georgian rooms linked by archways, which were extended southwards in the early 20th century. These rooms have notable features, including plaster cornices with egg-and-dart ornament and ornate fireplaces with eared architraves, pulvinated friezes, and ball-and-reel decoration. The room in the south-east corner is particularly high, with two ovolo-moulded pine main beams, a fireplace with an eared architrave and festoon, and a raised cast-iron hob grate. There are also several six-panelled doors throughout the house.
