Teddington House

Teddington House, located on Church Street in Warminster, is a building dating from around 1700, with possible rebuilding around 1745 when it was sold from the Longleat Estate. The house has two storeys and an attic. The main block is constructed of ashlar stone set on a projecting plinth with a moulded capping. It features rusticated quoins, a moulded string at the first floor level, and a bold moulded stone cornice that projects over the quoins. The windows are glazing bar sash types, with five on the first floor, all surrounded by stone architrave surrounds. There are two segmental-headed dormers with moulded cornices and tile-hung cheeks, each containing small four-pane sashes. The entrance has a six-panel central door within a stone architrave, topped with a plain stone surround and a moulded cornice and pediment supported by plain scroll brackets. Foot scrapers are recessed on either side of the door. The elevation returns to the right. The roof is hipped and covered with old tiles, extending over a stable wing to the left, which is a simpler two-storey extension from around 1700, built of coursed and squared rubble with ashlar quoins, a projecting plinth, a weathered string at the first floor level, and a small moulded eaves cornice. This wing has a central plain stable door and one range of glazing bar sash windows to the right. Inside Teddington House, there is a small staircase, and the interior has been somewhat altered. A central passage leads to a former kitchen that features an 18th-century Tudor arched fireplace with a beaded inner edge. The front room to the left of the entrance is panelled. The alterations likely occurred around 1875 when the stable wing was incorporated into the main house.
