Description
Well House is a house built in the late 18th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. It features slobbered rubble with stone dressings and a slate roof. The house has a central staircase plan and stands three storeys high with three bays. The central entrance has a projecting architrave and a six-panel door, with the upper two panels being glazed. The windows have plain surrounds and projecting sills. On the ground floor and first floor, the left and right windows are two-light flat-faced mullioned sashes with glazing bars, while the centre window on the first floor is a single light. The second floor has lower windows, with two-light sashes on the left and right and a central single light, all without glazing bars. The eaves are shaped with modillions, and there is a fluted iron rainwater head on the left side dating from around 1770. The gable ends have shaped kneelers and coping, and there are ridge stacks at the gable ends. To the left, there are former stables that are two storeys high.
