Description
Wellington House is a detached house that was used as offices at the time of listing. It was built around 1830-1840 and features a rendered exterior with a slate hipped roof. This symmetrical villa is designed in the Tudor style and is set well back from the road. It has a central square block with a two-storey porch and lower, set-back wings.
The house has two storeys, with the main block featuring three windows on each floor. The windows are two-light small-pane casements with transoms, all of which were replaced in the late 20th century. These windows are set under labels with dropped ends. On the first floor, the centre has two small lancet windows with four-centred heads, located above modern doors that also have four-centred heads. There is a lancet window with a deep sloping sill at each level on the sides of the projecting porch.
The hipped one-storey wings have a two-light casement window with a label, similar to those on the main block. The building includes a plinth, a moulded mid string, a cornice, blocking, and a parapet, with crenellations raised at the centre of the porch. Each side of the house has a stone stack with four octagonal shafts, and the right side features a large modern dormer window. The interior has not been inspected.
