Wootton Place And Attached Wall And Stable

A vicarage, now a house, was built between 1756 and 1764 for John Cary, and was remodelled and extended around 1842. The building is constructed of limestone rubble with an ashlar front, and has a stone slate roof. The roof features end, ridge, and rear lateral stacks, with the ashlar rebuilt in late 19th century engineering brick to the left. It follows a double-pile plan with a side entry.

The front elevation is in a mid-Georgian style, and is two storeys and an attic, with a symmetrical four-window range. The outer bays have two-storey canted bay windows, and there is a central full-height sash window. An early 19th century conservatory with glazing-bar lights occupies the centre of the front. A raised storey band and a moulded cornice are present, along with hipped roof dormers to the left. The left side wall incorporates six-pane and tripartite sashes, and a late 18th century three-bay Tuscan porch with French doors and flanking glazing-bar lights. Six-pane sashes are found to the rear.

An 18th century service range, constructed of limestone rubble with a gabled old tile roof and a stone end stack, adjoins the right side. A similar early 19th century range to the rear, of three windows, has a stone ridge stack, tripartite sashes, and three-light casements with glazing bars.

The interior features stone-flagged floors, old plank doors in the service range, and panelled doors within panelled reveals. Late 18th century chimney pieces are present, including a fine example around 1800 with Egyptian-style carved heads in a room to the right. Rooms to the left and right have late 19th century Morris and Co. green and rose coloured wallpaper. A long hall runs laterally across the house, from the entry on the left to a dog-leg staircase with turned balusters, ramped balusters with fluted newels, and a first-floor balcony balustrade with a dog-gate.

A stable and outhouse to the right have Welsh slate and 20th century tile roofs, along with latticed windows, plank doors to the rear, and two-bay stalls with mangers. A wall, constructed of limestone rubble with a tile ridge on a stone slate coping, extends approximately 4 metres to the right.
