Wilby House

Wilby House is a country house dating from the late 17th century to the early 18th century. It is constructed of lias ashlar and regular coursed limestone, topped with a plain-tile roof. The building has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys high with an attic. The entrance front features a five-window range, with part-glazed double doors slightly to the left of centre, set in a Gibbs surround with a pediment above. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, positioned under gauged stone heads. The house has rusticated quoins, a moulded stone cornice, and three hipped roof dormers with casement windows. The gable parapets are made of ashlar, and there are rendered stacks at both ends. The rear of the house includes a regularly coursed lias wing, a late 19th-century wing attached to the right, and a central 18th-century stucco projection. Inside, the entrance hall features a staircase with mid-18th-century balustrades, which have likely been reset.
