The Water House, Lloyd Park (William Morris Gallery)

The Water House, located in Lloyd Park and now serving as the William Morris Gallery, is a substantial detached house built in 1762, which has been altered and restored. The building is constructed of stock brick and features a hipped slate roof with a parapet. It stands three storeys tall and is nine windows wide, with the outer triplets forming large full-height semicircular bays.

A central porch, supported by Corinthian columns, encloses a recessed entrance that includes a semicircular fanlight above a six-panelled door. The windows are square-headed with gauged heads and are architraved to the central bays. There is a double band above the ground floor, along with a heavy stucco cornice and parapet.

Inside, the house contains contemporary panelling, a staircase, and a stucco-enriched stairwell. Notably, this building was the childhood home of the famous designer and writer William Morris.
