Description
Well Close is a late 18th-century house constructed from hammer-dressed stone and millstone grit, featuring quoins and a pitched stone slate roof that is covered in bitumen. There are stacks at each gable. The house is two storeys tall, with the ground floor at the back set into the earth.
On the west elevation, the ground floor includes one three-light stone mullioned window and one five-light stone mullioned window, which may have originally been a seven-light window. The first floor has one three-light stone mullioned window and one four-light stone mullioned window, although two lights of the latter are blocked.
On the north gable, there is one recessed two-light stone mullioned window and another two-light stone mullioned window that is blocked. Additionally, there is a blocked doorway on the first floor of the rear elevation that leads to the road.
