Description
South Wraxall House is a detached house built in the late 18th century. It features a limestone ashlar exterior and a mansard roof covered with Welsh slate, complete with coped verges and stone stacks at the gable ends. The house is designed in an L-shape and is two stories tall with three windows across the front.
The central entrance has double doors made of six fielded panels and a fanlight, set within a portico supported by Composite columns. To either side of the entrance, there is a tripartite window with 16 panes, flanked by fluted pilasters, all within a segmental-headed recessed panel. On the first floor, there is a 12-pane sash window above the doorway, with additional tripartite 16-pane sashes on either side, all topped by a dentil cornice above a plain blocking course. The attic contains two pairs of 12-pane sashes positioned on the lower pitch of the mansard roof.
To the right of the front, there is a conservatory featuring three tall margin-pane casements, plain pilasters supporting an entablature, and a glazed door. Attached to the left is a garden room with two 2-light margin-pane casements and plain pilasters. The rear wing of the house also has sash windows. The interior was not accessible during the survey conducted in June 1987.
