Wilderness House

Wilderness House is a house dating from 1773. It is built of squared coursed lias with a slate roof that is laid in diminishing courses. The house originally had a three-unit plan but has been altered to a two-unit plan. It is two stories high and features a four-window range of early 20th-century casements with leaded lights, all set under shallow brick arches. To the left of the center, there is a 19th-century glazed door with a moulded stone surround and a bracketed entablature. The gable parapets are made of ashlar, with the right gable featuring a ball finial. There are brick stacks at the ridge and at the ends. A datestone in the right gable has a lunette window below it. Although the interior was not inspected, it is noted to have a 19th-century staircase, and the rooms to the left and right of the entrance have panelled doors and shutters.
