Description
Waterstock House is a substantial house that was originally a service wing, built between 1787 and 1791 by S.P. Cockerell for Sir Henry Ashhurst. It is constructed of limestone ashlar and features a Westmorland-slate roof with brick stacks. The building has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys high. The front has four windows and, to the left of center, there is a panelled door set within a stone architrave, topped with a flat canopy supported by large scroll brackets. The ground-floor sash windows have 24 panes, and there are similar windows on the sides, along with two very tall windows at the rear. Although the interior was not inspected, it is noted to contain a marble fireplace that was originally from the main block of the house, which was demolished in 1953.
