Description
Well House is a pair of houses that formerly included shops, dating from the early to mid-18th century, with alterations made in the early 19th and 20th centuries. The exterior is rendered with incised masonry patterns, featuring a plain-tile roof and a brick ridge stack. The buildings have a two-unit plan and are two stories high, with a five-window range.
There are three 20th-century doors at the center, each with overlights; the central door has ornamental glazing bars and is framed by pilastered wood surrounds. Flanking the doors are canted former shop bay windows, all beneath a continuous fascia with a moulded cornice. The bay windows have glazing bars that divide the windows into 20 panes arranged in four tiers of five, with four panes on the sides.
The ground floor on the far left and right features 12-pane sash windows, as does the first floor, except for a central blank window on the first floor. The windows to the left of center, belonging to No. 60, have raised rendered surrounds, with the ground floor window connected to a storey band at the level of the window head. The windows to the right of center, belonging to No. 59, have rendered heads. There is also a rendered plinth and four flat-roofed dormer windows with two-light casements.
