Northlands

Northlands is a detached villa, now functioning as a nursing home, built in the 1830s with additions made around 1850 and 1860. The structure is constructed of plastered brick and features a Welsh slate roof with brick stacks. It has an L-shaped plan and is two stories tall, with a varied arrangement of windows. The entrance includes half-glazed double doors with Art Nouveau handles, set in a Tudor-arched doorway with a hoodmould. To the left of the entrance are various windows, primarily tall casements and a Venetian window that illuminates the staircase. The eaves are gabled and adorned with well-crafted ogee-carved bargeboards and pendants.

The left side of the building features a delicate cast-iron verandah that wraps around a canted gable with French windows, alongside a square bay window with tall casements. The rear garden front is two stories high with seven windows, showcasing central canted bays topped with strapwork-decorated parapets. Most windows here are tall casements, with some plate glass sashes. To the left is a conservatory from around 1850, featuring Tudor-arched windows.

To the right of the front, there is a two-story wing built around 1860, which has five windows. It includes a half-glazed door in a glazed porch to the right, three plate-glass sashes with margin panes on both the ground and first floors to the left, and tall sashes on the ground floor and sashes on the first floor to the right. This wing also has similar gabled eaves with ogee-carved bargeboards and pendants. The rear of the wing has tall casements on the ground floor and margin-pane sashes on the first floor, with single-storey service areas that maintain the same architectural details.

Inside, the villa features a staircase from around 1900 with turned balusters and a moulded handrail. Other fittings from the same period include attractive Art Nouveau fireplace surrounds with coloured tiles, plaster ceiling cornices, and four-panelled doors. The villa was originally built for Mr. Foot, a solicitor from Salisbury, and later extended for James Wigram.
