The Well House

The Well House is a house built around 1870 in the French Chateau style for Frederic Vilmet. It is constructed of coursed stone rubble with ashlar quoins and has a slate roof. The building has one storey and attics, featuring two windows. Notable architectural details include an elaborate moulded cornice, a balustraded parapet adorned with urns, and a mansard roof that rises in the center, topped with an iron finial and iron cresting. There are two oval attic windows. The central portico projects forward and has a curved open pediment supported by paired Doric pilasters. The entrance features a round-headed design with keystone impost blocks, a round-headed fanlight, and double doors. The house has two sash windows with verticals only, each with a cornice and brackets above. To the left side, there is a lean-to that matches the main style of the house. Frederic Vilmet was the son of George IV's French Chef.
