East Winton Winton House

Winton House, formerly the Rectory, is a house that was built in 1842 in Tudor style for Reverend F. H. Hele. The building is stuccoed and features angle-quoins, a slate roof with gabled ends, and widely overhanging eaves. It has two storeys and a south-east front with three bays, where the centre bay is advanced and gabled. There are smaller gables above the first-floor windows on the right and left, with the left-hand side being blind. The windows are mullion and transom types set in chamfered openings with stuccoed quoins, and the ground floor windows have hood moulds. The central entrance features a wide moulded four-centred arch doorway with a label to the porch, a moulded four-centred arch doorcase, and a panelled door with intersecting tracery and pointed arch niches on either side inside the porch. Above the porch is an oriel window.

On the south-west garden front, the layout consists of 1:3:1 bays, with left and right projecting gables that have small four-centred arch attic windows and a canted ground floor bay. The central recess has French windows and a balcony with an open timber gable at the centre, which is adorned with ornate pierced bargeboards and a pendant. The house features many large symmetrically arranged rendered chimney stacks with octagonal flues and moulded caps. The interior remains intact, showcasing original gothic style joinery, a staircase, and Tudor arch chimneypieces. Architect's drawings dated 1841, though not signed, are available at Winton House.
