Description
Wesley House is a former row of four attached houses that has been converted into a detached house. Parts of the building may date back to the 16th century, with late 17th century and early 18th century additions, as well as an early 19th century addition. The structure is made of coursed and random rubble limestone, featuring ashlar chimneys and a stone slate roof. It is two stories high with an attic and has a tight, irregular grouping.
The east front showcases two full gables from different periods, each topped with a gable-mounted chimney that has plain caps. Below each gable, there is a single-window arrangement, with all windows being 2-light chamfered mullioned leaded iron casements, each with separate hoodmoulds on the upper floor. There is a continuous drip course above the ground floor casement on the right gable. The left gable has a single-light attic casement, while the right gable features an off-centre oval window.
On the south side, the highest section on the left is an early 18th century cross-gabled house, rendered on the south elevation. It has a 3-light ground floor casement, two 2-light upper floor casements grouped under a hoodmould, and a single 2-light attic casement. There is a doorway with a glazed door to the right. The lower angled building to the right is possibly from the 16th century, featuring a 20th century restored doorway with a flat stone porch hood.
The north side includes a late 17th century house on the left, constructed of coursed rubble with a continuous upper floor level drip course and coved eaves. It has a central blocked doorway with a stone lintel and a relieving arch above the drip course, along with a 2-light chamfered mullioned upper floor casement, one light of which is blocked. The central section has a gable-mounted chimney with a cavetto cap and a doorway with a stone lintel and plank door to the left of three 3-light mullioned casements, with a large 2-light above. The right part features casement windows, which are shuttered on the ground floor.
Inside, there has been significant internal refitting in the early 19th century, including two reeded Regency fireplaces. There is a timber spiral staircase in the cross-gabled house and a small, simple stone fireplace in the earliest part of the building, possibly from the 16th century. A cellar below the late 17th century house has a tunnel vault. The house is situated in a picturesque location at the center of the village.
