Description
Weighbridge House is a house built around 1840, likely designed by J. Thomson for J. Neeld of Grittleton House. It is constructed of ashlar stone and features a hipped stone-slate roof with deep eaves and octagonal ashlar chimney stacks. The building is a single storey with an attic, showcasing a picturesque cottage style. The long-proportioned windows are stone-mullioned on the main floor and feature narrow half-hipped barge boarded dormers in the attic.
The south front has a projecting hipped gable from a cross wing on the left and a two-window range to the right. The cross wing includes a two-shaft ridge stack and a large square bay window at the south end, which has three 8-pane lights and stone brackets supporting the hipped stone-slate roof. This roof extends to the base of an 8-pane dormer at the eaves of the main roof.
On the right side, the main range has two 6-pane dormers in the roof, a door located in the angle beneath a half-hipped stone-slate porch supported by a shafted pier, and a 3-light window to the right with a hoodmould. The west side of the cross wing features a central triangular bay window with stone brackets at the eaves and a half-hipped dormer above. The north gable is also half-hipped. The east side has a four-shaft ridge stack, with the roof hipped to the north and a 20th-century link to the east connecting to a formerly detached outbuilding that has a half-hipped south gable.
