Description
Wollaston House is a house dating from 1856, built for George Burnham. It is constructed from squared coursed limestone with a slate roof. The building has a double-depth plan and is arranged over two storeys. The garden front has a three-window range with a gabled cross-wing to the left. It features pairs of arched sash windows to the right, and a triple sash with a Venetian-style head to the left. There are shallow gables to the left and smaller gables above the windows to the right, all with decorative barge boards and finials. Stone stacks are visible at the ridge and end of the building. A square tower projects from the rear, rising one storey above the ridge, with pairs of arched windows. The tower has a conical roof topped with a weather vane and two stone stacks at the corners. The other elevations are similar in style. A rear entrance is accessed via a porch with an open colonnade. The interior, which was not inspected, is said to contain an original 19th-century staircase. The house is illustrated in Loudon’s Encyclopedia.
