Wilmington House

Wilmington House is an early 18th-century house, likely built by John Tasker, and restored and extended in the 20th century. It is constructed of brown brick with red brick dressings, quoins, a string course, and a cornice. The house has two storeys and attics, with a mansard slate roof, a brown brick parapet, and stone coping. It has seven windows and three dormers, with projecting end window bays. The windows have glazing bars, except for the central first-floor window, which is flanked by rusticated red pilasters with a red brick pulvinated frieze. A central wooden porch is flanked by coupled pilasters with a pediment. Modern additions made of yellow brick are not of architectural significance. The interior of the original 18th-century section includes a mid-18th-century staircase with two turned balusters to each tread and scrolled tread ends. There's also an Adamesque oval panel in the hall depicting a reclining lady in antique dress, flanked by swags, and likely representing Minerva with an owl. Contemporary panelling is present in the hall.
