Wembley House

Wembley House is a house dating from the late 18th century, with a 20th-century addition to the rear. It is constructed of colourwashed rendered cob on stone rubble footings, with a thatched roof that is hipped at the ends. The original design featured a single-depth layout with a wide central passage and two rooms on either side, each heated by large, projecting lateral stacks with set-offs at the rear. Small, single-storey lean-tos are located at each end, and these may be original to the house. The original two-room and passage plan remains, although a single-storey, flat-roofed addition has been built to the rear. The rear right-hand stack has been shortened and capped. The front of the house is symmetrical, featuring three windows and a central gabled porch. The window arrangement appears to be from the early 20th century, with a two-light casement above the porch (four panes to each light), and other windows that are three-light casements (three panes to each light). The window to the left of the porch is flanked by rough buttresses. A single two-light casement (three panes to each light) is in the left-hand lean-to. Inside, the right-hand fireplace has jambs of squared masonry and a timber lintel, while the left-hand fireplace is a 20th-century replacement.
