Wishford House With Attached Front Walls

Wishford House is a detached house dating from the 18th century, which was altered and refronted around 1800, with a mid-19th century service wing added. The building is constructed of Flemish bond brick and features a tiled hipped roof with brick stacks. It has an 'L'-shaped plan and is two stories high with three windows that contain sash windows. The central entrance door has six fielded panels, a fanlight, and panelled reveals, and is sheltered by a wooden Tuscan porch that has a key motif frieze. On either side of the door are 16-pane sashes with flat arches and keystones. The first floor has a stone plat band and three 16-pane sashes, also with keystones above flat arched heads. The house displays chamfered rusticated quoins and a moulded wooden cornice above a brick blocking course topped with stone coping. There is one attic dormer featuring a two-light casement.

On the right return, there is a large 18-pane sash window on the first floor, which was formerly the drawing room, along with a three-brick plat band. The left return includes a four-panelled door, 12-pane sashes, and both three-light and two-light casements. The mid-19th century rear service wing is built of banded flint and brick and has one-light and two-light casements on the ground and first floors, with a Welsh slate roof. Attached to the right return is a mid-19th century flint garden room that features margin pane French windows and casements.

The interior has been partly altered in the early 20th century, with early 19th century stairs being partially removed and replaced by stairs in the room to the right of the entrance hall. The first-floor landing retains stick balusters with a moulded handrail, and there are good doors with six moulded panels in moulded architraves. The drawing room, which is now a bedroom, features a grey marble fireplace and retains a moulded plaster cornice with a floral ceiling margin.

Attached to the front of the house are flanking curved walls made of Flemish bond brick, which have planked doors and terminate in plain brick piers topped with 20th-century concrete pineapples. To the right, there is a length of good cob wall with a flint plinth and thatched capping, which has some brick patching.
