Description

The Well House is a house with a late 18th-century facade built onto an earlier structure. The building is timber framed, with a rendered front facade and a plain tile roof. It has two storeys. A plat band runs around the facade, interrupted at the left end, and there’s a plain eaves band. The roof is gabled, with rear stacks on the left and right sides. The front has an irregular arrangement of four recessed sixteen-pane sash windows. Two similar sash windows on the ground floor have reeded keystones. A door, featuring two sunk moulded panels and a shell hood supported by console brackets, is located under the second first-floor window from the right. To the left are garage doors with a multipane rectangular fanlight. The rear elevation is timber framed with brick infilling on the first floor. A two-storey rear wing has a plain tile roof, hipped to the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
