Wise Follies

House. Dating to the late 18th century with a front range built onto an earlier 17th or earlier structure. The building has a timber frame and a front elevation clad in mathematical tiles, with a short, tile-hung left return and the remainder of the left return constructed of chequered red and grey brick. It has a plain tile roof and a hipped roof with no visible chimney stack. The two-storey main facade is a regular three-window arrangement of sixteen-pane sashes in open boxes. Similar ground-floor windows have segmental heads. The central door is of six fielded panels and is topped by a rectangular fanlight with radiating glazing bars, set within a reeded architrave with reeded borders to rectangular paterae, and to the central panel of the frieze. It is further accentuated by a flat, corniced door hood. A rear range is timber framed with brick infilling on the first floor. The interior has not been inspected.
