Description

Wessex Court, originally a coach house and assembly room built around 1900, is now used as offices. It was likely constructed by WJ Unsworth for the Weston Public House, to which it is attached. The building features limestone ashlar with a plain tile roof and is designed in the 18th century Cotswold vernacular style.

The exterior is two storeys high, situated on sloping ground, making it taller on the south side. The coach house has four modern steel doors with a rolled steel joist lintel. There are five tall two-light windows, each with a mullion and two transoms. The eaves are plain, and the roof includes a lead cupola with a square ventilator and weathervane. The gable ends feature recessed five-light mullioned windows, and the gables are coped with ball finials on kneelers. At the street end, there is a single-storey extension with a lean-to roof, which has three-light windows flanking a two-light window. The building has undergone some later alterations and extensions.

The interior has not been inspected but is likely to have been modified during its conversion into offices.
