Description
Wadham House is a house built in the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with squared quoins and wooden lintels, topped with a Stonesfield-slate roof that features stone-and-brick stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan and stands two storeys tall. The symmetrical front has three windows, with renewed cross windows on the first floor and 12-pane sash windows flanking the central doorway on the ground floor. The steep-pitched roof includes gable stacks, and there is a rear wing that extends from the right, which has a large lateral stack. The interior has not been inspected.
