Description
Wearne House is a house dated 1729, with alterations made in the early 20th century. It is constructed from local lias stone that is cut and squared, with Ham stone dressings, and features a Welsh slate roof. The roof has a plain east gable and a stepped coped west gable, along with stone chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high with an attic and has a 3-bay north elevation.
The plinth includes 4-light hollow chamfered mullioned windows with square labels on the lower outer bays. The centre bay features a composite Venetian style window with a 3-centre arched centre light and a shaped label above. On the first floor, there are horizontal bar 3-light casement windows. Between the second and third bays is a 20th-century boarded door set in a 3-centre arched recess, which has a shaped fanlight and label above it. At each front corner, there are small pavilion-type screen walls with 3-centre arched doorways, although the eastern doorway is now blocked with a window.
The rear of the house has considerable extensions, mostly from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, culminating in a circular building with a conoid roof, which is reputed to be a windmill but is actually a water tower. There is a date plaque above the lower bay 1 window. The interior has not been seen.
