Wolesley House

Wolesley House is an early to mid-18th century house located on the north side of the High Street in Market Lavington. It is constructed of stone, faced with brick, and has a tiled roof. The house extends over two storeys, with an attic and cellars, and has five bays. It was originally designed with a through hall plan, with a service wing on the right side. A 20th-century infill extends the re-entrant angle. The front door is six-panelled, with glazed upper panels and a shell hood reset above. The windows are twelve-paned sashes, and are not perfectly symmetrical. A valence fascia board runs along the eaves, and there are two early 20th-century gabled dormers. A flush dormer is located at the rear, along with a kitchen wing featuring two small gables.

The interior contains a good 18th-century staircase with turned balusters. Notable features include chamfered ceiling beams, including one deeply chamfered in the left sitting room, and a cross beam to the kitchen wing with bar stops. Original 18th-century cupboards flank the angled fireplace in the kitchen. The roof structure is of four bays, featuring principal rafter and collar trusses with butt purlins and threaded diagonal ridge. There is a stone cellar beneath the right-hand bay, which leads to a segmental vaulted wine vault at the rear.
