Description
Well House is a house built around 1846-1848, likely designed by R C Hussey. It is constructed from Wealden sandstone with Caen stone dressings and has a plain tiled roof. The building has a T-shaped plan with an additional wing. The entrance front features two storeys, with a gabled wing that projects to the left. This wing includes a plinth, quoins, and kneelered parapet gables. There are gabled half-dormers on the right side and chimney stacks on the left and in the center. Each floor has two 2-light shouldered mullioned windows, and there is a central boarded door set in a moulded arched surround. The gabled cross-wing to the left has similar treatment to the rear. There is a moulded arched doorway with a boarded door on the right return, leading to a single-storey wing at the rear right, which has a parapet gable. The rear features a catslide roof with a small stack. This building is part of a complex designed by R C Hussey, which includes the rebuilt church nearby.
