Description
Willesden House is a house located on Pilton Street in Barnstaple, likely built in the early 19th century and altered in the mid-19th century. The front is solidly rendered, and it has a slated roof with an old red brick chimney on the left gable end, which features upper courses that step outwards to form a cap. The house has two storeys and a three-window range.
The central doorway is bead-moulded and round-arched, flanked by panelled pilasters and an entablature. It features a six-panelled door with a knocker, where the two bottom panels are flush. On either side of the doorway are two-storeyed bow windows with eight-paned sashes and bolection-moulded architraves. Above the doorway is a smaller window that matches the architrave and has six-paned sashes. There is a raised band between the storeys, and rusticated pilasters flank the building, rising to a deep flat eaves cornice supported at each end by a pair of shaped brackets.
The interior has not been inspected, but it includes a half-glazed inner front door with margin-panes and a matching fanlight.
