Wans House

Wans House is a country house built around 1820, likely incorporating elements from the 18th century. It features a combination of ashlar and rendered brick with slate hipped roofs and brick stacks. The house is two stories tall with a three-window center that is set back on a high plinth. It has a two-story early 19th-century verandah that is partly enclosed by projecting single-storey bow-fronted wings. The rear range is rendered and irregular, also two stories high.

The main front of the house includes a moulded cornice and a parapet, which is mostly hidden by the verandah. The center of the front slightly projects and features early 19th-century double doors at ground level, arch-headed French windows with reeded surrounds on the first floor, and 12-pane sash windows on either side. There are decorative paterae flanking the center bay on the first floor, adorned with wheat-ear garlands. The verandah is supported by six thin iron columns at ground level and has eight wooden trellis uprights above, with iron balconies in between. The slate roof is complemented by a cornice that continues along the west side wall.

The flanking wings each have three 12-pane sash windows on their bow fronts, raised plinths, moulded sill-courses, panelled cornices, and parapets with moulded coping. A 20th-century ashlar-fronted open garden room has been added to the east of the east wing.

Inside, the front range displays generally Regency-style door and window details, along with an iron stair rail. Each wing contains a single room with shallow coved ceilings and decorative friezes. Wans House is marked on the 1773 Andrews and Drury map and is said to date from shortly before 1821, according to Pevsner.
