Description

Waye House, Waye Court, and The Coach House is a large building that has been divided into three dwellings. It is believed to have been built in 1829, with a mid-19th century addition known as Waye Court. The exterior features solid rendered walls, while Waye Court is constructed from stone rubble. The roofs are slated, and the rendered chimneys include a distinctive front chimney on Waye House with four octagonal shafts.

Waye House, the original part of the building, has a square plan with the entrance and stair hall located at the rear left. Waye Court is set back to the rear left, and an L-shaped service wing, known as The Coach House, is positioned at the rear right and consists of two sections. The building stands two storeys high and is three windows wide. The ground floor features a round-headed niche in the centre with French windows to the left and a large canted bay window to the right, both likely dating from the late 19th century. Above, there are barred sash windows with four panes in the centre and six panes on the sides.

The left side wall includes a six-panelled centre door, with the upper four panels now glazed, set within panelled reveals. This door is flanked by French windows, and the upper storey has six-paned sashes. Both sides of the building have a slated verandah supported by Gothic iron columns. The eaves of the hipped roof are deep and bracketed. Waye Court has two windows, with wooden casements below and sashes above, and also features a bracketed eaves-cornice. The Coach House has eight-paned sashes in its left-hand section, while the rest has undergone significant alterations in the late 20th century.

Inside Waye House, the entrance and stair hall showcases a modillioned cornice and a carved wooden staircase that likely dates from the late 19th or early 20th century. The two front ground floor rooms are adorned with marble chimneypieces, which are probably original to the house.
