Description
Woolton House is a country house built in the 18th century and remodelled and extended around 1930. It features a stuccoed brick exterior with slate hipped roofs that have lead rolled hips and ridge, along with a parapet that has a moulded cornice. The house has stuccoed axial stacks with cornices.
The original 18th-century structure is a rectangular three-storey block located at the northwest end, which likely had its main front facing northeast. In the 20th century, the house was extended to the southeast and southwest.
The northeast front has three bays on the right, featuring sashes with glazing bars, although many windows appear to be blocked. The ground floor was built out in the 20th century with a glazed colonnade and a central porch. To the left, a 20th-century three-bay extension projects, containing three sashes on the ground floor and three bullseyes with festoons above.
The northwest side has five bays of sashes, a round-headed central window, a blind second-floor window on the right, and a large two-storey bowed bay on the left. The southwest elevation displays staggered bays in a 3:3:4:2 arrangement, all with glazing bars. It features a large single-storey canted bay on the left and a two-storey canted bay to the right of centre, with a three-bay arcade on the ground floor to the left of centre. There is a service wing on the southeast side.
Inside, there is some 19th-century joinery on the first and attic floors, along with 18th-century panelling in the first-floor room to the south. The remainder of the interior is mainly from the 20th century, reusing earlier materials such as 17th-century panelling and staircase balustrade.
