Oakfield House And Wellington House

Oakfield House and Wellington House are a house, later subdivided, dating from the early 19th century. The front is rendered, while the return elevations are of stock brick. It has a slate roof, a hipped roofline, and chimney stacks to the left and right. The ground floor is rusticated horizontally, with a plat band and cornice to the top storey, and paired modillion eaves brackets. The fenestration is regular, with three half-sized sash windows with glazing bars on the second floor, three full-sized sash windows with glazing bars in moulded surrounds with cornices on brackets on the first floor, and two segmentally headed tripartite sash windows with glazing bars on the ground floor. A central porch has glazed double doors with sidelights and a rectangular fanlight, topped by an Ionic columned cornice. A recessed two-storey hipped wing projects to the left, featuring tripartite sash windows with glazing bars on each floor. A single-storey wing extends to the right with a tripartite sash window with a segmental head, and a return elevation. The house was built for Henry Winchester, Lord Mayor of London in 1834-5, who entertained guests, including the Duke of Wellington, at the property.
