Worton House

Worton House is a large house built around 1816 for William Wilson, with extensions and internal remodeling completed around 1850. The exterior features marlstone ashlar and some render, topped with Welsh-slate roofs and ashlar stacks. The house has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys tall, with single-storey wings that have been partly raised to two storeys.

The earlier central section consists of three bays in a seven-window front, which includes storey bands, 12-pane sash windows, and a central late 19th-century ashlar porch with a heavy wooden cornice. The two-window wings project forward, featuring 12-pane sashes on the right and 4-pane sashes on the left. The left wing was raised around 1923 and has rendered walls. The plain parapets conceal shallow-pitched hipped roofs and support symmetrical flanking stacks with cornices, while the parapet of the right wing rises to two end stacks. The rear of the house is plain and has been altered in one bay, but it retains an ornamental overlight above the central door.

Inside, there is a three-bay entrance hall with arched recesses and two marble fireplaces, along with other mid-19th-century decorative elements and an oak stair from around 1900.
