Wynards House

Wynards House is a house dating from the early 19th century, with a service wing that was rebuilt in 1901 according to the owners. It features Flemish bond brickwork, including some burnt headers, with whitewashed end walls and a rear, while the service wing is made of exposed brick. The house has brick stacks topped with late 19th-century Rolle estate chimney pots and a slate roof. It has a two-room plan and faces northeast onto High Street, with a central staircase and a rear lateral stack in each room. The service wing is built at right angles to the back of the main block and consists of two rooms with an axial stack between them. The main block is two storeys with attics, while the service wing is also two storeys.

The front of the house is symmetrical with three windows, featuring outer 19th-century tripartite sashes that include a central 12-pane sash, and a narrow 12-pane sash on the first floor. All windows have flat brick arches above them. The central doorway has a six-panel door with an overlight displaying a pattern of curving glazing bars. The doorcase is fluted with beaded enrichment and similar caps, topped with a fluted entablature that includes roundels resembling the decoration on the larger eaves cornice. The house has unusually deep eaves at the front, supported by a series of shaped brackets, and the roof is gable-ended.

The right end of the house features a late 19th-century square-cornered bay window with a 12-pane sash window on the ground floor, a horned 12-pane sash on the first floor, and a lunette in the attic. The left end is similar, and both ends exhibit an unusual roof structure, with a normal pitch at the front and a mansard arrangement at the rear. The service wing has a gable-ended roof and a three-window front facing north, containing casements with glazing bars set under low segmental arches. The interior retains much of its early 19th-century joinery detail, including a stick baluster staircase. Wynards House marks the beginning of High Street and is part of a group of attractive and varied buildings, most of which are listed, lining the street as it rises to the Church of All Saints.
