Farleigh Wallop House

Farleigh Wallop House, built in 1731 and altered in 1935, is situated on an ancient site that previously housed a structure destroyed by fire in 1661. The house features two storeys, an attic, and a basement. The east front, dating from 1731, is symmetrical with an angular centerpiece and has a window arrangement of 2.3.2. The roof is hipped with slate and includes two flat-roofed dormers on each side, as well as two on the diagonal faces of the octagonal pyramid roof of the center. A moulded cornice runs along the top. The main wall is constructed of squared flint, while the centerpiece is made of fine ashlar stone. Stone dressings include flush quoins, architraves—plain above but moulded in the centerpiece, and lower ones featuring a cornice, keystone, panel, and rusticated arches in the center—along with a plinth and a carved coat of arms above the central French window. The windows are sashes set in reveals.

The west front has a tall projecting centerpiece, with the upper section in stonework supporting a coat of arms. Below this is a flush pediment, a roundel, a band, and a tall round-headed staircase window, with the entrance now framed by a square porch. Short wings flank the entrance, along with further projecting wings and detached outer piers, creating a symmetrical window pattern of 1.3.2.1.2.3.1. This newer work maintains the style of the original elevation but features a closer proportion of elements, resulting in a total frontage that is wider than the garden front.

Inside, the house boasts an impressive octagonal room aligned with the entrance hall, as well as a small room that retains 17th-century panelling and a stone fireplace, which is part of the earlier Jacobean structure with very thick walls. Staircases, door frames, and panelled doors from the 1731 building are also preserved.
