Description
Wimborne House is a house dating from the early to mid-19th century. The front elevation is rendered, while the right gable end is brick in Flemish bond and the left gable end is stone. It has a slate roof. A left-end bay was added later, matching the style of the original building. The house has two storeys and a semi-basement. A stone plinth runs along the left end bay, while the rest has a painted brick plinth. A straight joint is visible towards the left. The projecting eaves feature flat soffits and paired Ionic modillions. The roof is hipped, with the hips returning. There are three brick stacks: one on the left hip, one towards the rear centre, and one towards the right end. The windows are arranged irregularly, with four recessed 12-pane sashes, three of which create a regular three-window front. The main entrance, at the centre of the original building, features six fielded panels and a rectangular fanlight with radiating glazing bars, flanked by fluted Corinthian columns. A Doric porch with a flat corniced hood leads up four steps to the entrance. The interior has not been inspected. The building was formerly known as Manor Cottage.
