Wheston Hall, Gate Piers And Boundary Walls

Wheston Hall is a farmhouse that was originally a country house, dating from the mid-18th century, with some 17th-century elements. The building has been completely remodelled in the mid-20th century. It is constructed of coursed rubble limestone with gritstone dressings, featuring projecting quoins, plain gables, and stone stacks at the intermediate and gable ridges. The roof is covered with concrete tiles.

The structure has two storeys and consists of six bays, with an advanced bay that has a moulded cornice and a parapet. The windows are sash style without glazing bars and are set in flush stone surrounds. The advanced bay includes a semi-circular headed opening with a keyblock and radiating glazing bars at the top of the window frame. There is an off-centre doorway featuring a moulded architrave and a pediment supported by moulded brackets, with a 20th-century half-glazed door.

The property is enclosed by a low garden wall with saddleback copings, which incorporates stone gate piers that are square in plan. These piers have a moulded band and projecting moulded caps topped with cone finials. At the east end of the building, there is a monopitch roofed projection that was formerly a two-bay wing with 17th-century storeys. Historically, the house was an eight-bay country residence with three storeys, featuring a parapet and full-height advanced stair towers on either side of the central doorway, with the two end bays projecting beyond the staircase bays.
