Description
Walton House is a house from the mid-19th century, likely a remodelling of a late 18th-century structure. It is built of ashlar stone and features a modern tiled roof behind a parapet with a cornice. The building has two storeys and attics with hipped dormers, arranged in three bays. It includes large pane sash windows, with canted one-storey bays featuring parapets on the ground floor. The first-floor windows are in chamfered surrounds, and the central window has a round head with a triple keystone. The entrance features a central six-panel door with an architrave beneath a bracketed pediment. This house is included for its group value.
