Well Close House

Well Close House is an 18th-century house with an earlier core, likely dating back to the 17th century. The front facade is constructed of ashlar, masking a more ancient structure. It is three storeys high and features five windows. The facade is characterised by rusticated quoins and a plain band at the first floor level. A moulded cornice tops the building, leading into a triangular pediment that contains a wheel window. The windows on the upper floors are casements and sashes, all with glazing bars and architrave surrounds. The first floor windows are further embellished with pulvinated friezes and alternating segmental and triangular pediments, with the central pediment (segmental) supported by enriched brackets. The windows on this floor have moulded sills resting on cut stone brackets. The ground floor windows are sashes without glazing bars, each distinguished by a keystone and a plain sill. A central, square-headed doorway is defined by an architrave surround, keystone, and a flat stone hood supported by moulded brackets, leading to a six-panelled door. The left-hand elevation features a gable, partially removed to accommodate the frontage, and includes 2- and 3-light casements with moulded stone mullions. The rear elevation displays two high-pitched gables covered with stone-tiled roofs and square ashlar chimney stacks.
