Wake Hill

Wake Hill is a detached house built before 1831 by the Reverend Hugh Speke, who was the rector from 1827 to 1856. The house is constructed from local stone rubble and is colourwashed, featuring Welsh slate roofs with some concrete tiles and plain gables, along with rendered chimney stacks. It is designed in a later form of cottage style, standing two storeys high with four bays on the front and three bays on the sides, and includes an added verandah on three sides.

All windows are arched casements, with the ground floor featuring four-centre arched French doors and a part-glazed door that matches, located at the center of the east gable. The first-floor windows are pointed-arched, with two lights in flat-arched openings, and all windows are divided into small panes with 'Y'-tracery at the heads. The verandah boasts a hipped slate roof supported by cast-iron columns, with timber infill panels featuring four-centre arches and quatrefoil decoration above the columns. The underside of the verandah has a pointed arched vaulted ceiling.

Inside, the house has retained many original features, including skirtings, ceiling covings, panelled doors, and doorcases, which exhibit more Georgian than Regency details. The inner hall features a cast-iron overthrow arch across the center, and at the north end, there is a staircase with simple balusters that reflect very early 19th-century design. Attached to the north-east corner is a later wing that served as servants' quarters and stables, which has been modified and is of lesser interest.
