Description
Conservation Volunteers is a house and barn, now used as offices, located at No. 36 Wallingford, which includes No. 1 Hill Lane. The building dates from the late 17th century, with the front block dated 1771 on a datestone located on the first floor to the left. It features a late 19th-century shop front. The structure is made of red brick, with red brick and flared headers in Flemish bond on the first floor, and has an old plain-tile hipped roof with brick ridge stacks at the rear.
The building is two stories high and has a three-window range. There is a 20th-century glazed door at the center and a 19th-century shop front that includes Doric pilasters supporting shaped brackets. The first floor has three 12-pane unhorned sash windows with architrave surrounds. A dentil course runs along the eaves. On the left side, there is irregular fenestration and a cast-iron balcony on cast-iron brackets to the right on the first floor. Inside, there are some 18th-century panelled doors. The barn is positioned at right angles to the front and has 20th-century windows. The rear of the barn is roughcast, likely built on timber framing, and features a Queen post roof construction.
