Description
Dated 1724, as indicated by a rainwater head, Weybourne House is a two-story red brick building set on a projecting plinth with a moulded capping. A moulded string runs along the first floor level, and a moulded, denticulated brick cornice sits over the first-floor windows, returning to create space for symmetrical cast lead rainwater heads (only one now remains). A panelled parapet with moulded coping covers the roof, which is hipped and tiled.
The central bay of the front façade slightly projects and is constructed of red rubber brick. The central panel of the parapet is segmental, recessed, and features a moulded brick surround. The surround is flanked by small fluted pilasters with moulded caps and a fluted frieze block above the pilasters, with the coping projecting forward. The front has five segmental-headed windows on the first floor with architrave frames, moulded brick sills, and small raised aprons. The center window of the projecting bay has a bolection moulded brick architrave. There are four similar windows on the ground floor, without sills, and an eight-panelled central door within a segmental-headed architrave frame. The carved brick doorcase includes engaged Doric columns with egg and tongue caps supporting an entablature. The architrave of this entablature arches over the doorhead, with a projecting key block rising through the frieze and the cornice curving forward. The frieze is fluted above the columns, and the cornice is moulded and denticulated. The entire entablature bows forward over the columns.
A plain brick extension is attached to the left with an old tiled roof and two windows on both the first and ground floors. To the right, there is one plain bay mirroring the main facade, but with a moulded string at cornice level. The south front is similarly designed with four windows and a central panelled chimney with the parapet swept upwards on either side.
Weybourne House was formerly the home of J.H. Knight, an inventor. The main front is set back, with lime trees lining the road. A previous rail fence has been removed.
