Waveney House

Waveney House is a house dating back to what is believed to be the 16th century, with additions and alterations made in the 17th and 18th centuries. The house is two storeys high with an attic, and has three dormers with pediments. It is constructed of cut flint, with stone quoins defining the corners, stone surrounds to the windows (jambs, sills, and lintols with keys), and stone finials to the kneelers. A stone offset defines the plinth. The chimneys are square brick with capping, and the roof is tiled with pantiles. There are five windows, each with sash glazing bars in flush frames. A wide plastered band runs along the eaves, with a bedmould below. The main entrance is within an 18th-century porch featuring a bracketed open pediment supported by Doric columns; the fanlight has modern glazing. A north-east portion of the house is of red brick with Doric pilasters, a frieze above the pilasters, and a modillion cornice. This section also has sash windows in flush frames with flat arches. The interior has been altered, but retains one room with two-panelled panelling, and an Adam-style mantel in the north-east portion. A riverside wing is two and five storeys high, and constructed of brick with a limewashed finish.
