Willinghurst House

House, dating from 1887 and designed by Philip Webb, with demolition occurring in the 1950s. The construction combines sandstone block, some snecked, with tile hanging above to the right. A canted bay extends over the ground floor, with brickwork to the first floor on the left and tile hanging above. The roof is tiled, hipped, and swept out to the eaves. The house has two storeys to the right and centre, marked by a brick dentil band over the ground floor. To the left, a projecting, hip-roofed range rises three storeys. There are rear ridge stacks to the right of centre and a rear stack to the left. The front features one segmental headed, 18-pane glazing bar sash window to the ground floor right, with a 12-pane window above. Two 12-pane glazing bar sash windows are located to the first floor right of centre, and two further 12-pane glazing bar sash windows on the second floor. To the left, there's a 4-pane leaded window and a large 12-light staircase window on the first floor. A coved and dentilled hood overhangs the ground floor left and centre, sheltering a leaded bow window of five by two lights set in a splayed reveal on the ground floor centre. A single 4-light window is situated on the ground floor left, and paired half-glazed doors are centrally positioned within a bay, set under a three-step, gauged brick round arched head with a blue and brown brick panel above. End pentices are present. The rear shows where the ground drops away. Four cambered head sash windows are set into the ground floor, with brick and wood dentilled eaves. Three 12-pane sash windows with shutters are on the first floor. A coved cornice and dentil band runs over a single-storey range set back to the left. A flat, lead-covered pavilion with a spike finial is attached to the front left, and buttresses are located to the front right. The right-hand angle is splayed under bracket eaves, featuring a sash window on each floor. The right-hand return front displays a triple-hipped range, each with a shuttered first floor window. A square bay to the ground floor right contains a central sash/door flanked by thin panels in arched, two-step surrounds. The interior includes a good staircase, painted panelling, fireplaces, and other original features. The house was originally linked to service buildings via a block of rooms, which have since been demolished.
