Gwyon House

Gwyon House is a house that has been converted into an old people's home, built in 1858 for Cuthbert R Morris. The exterior is rendered to imitate stucco and features pilaster quoins, a cornice with modillion brackets, and a shallow pitched hipped slate roof. The building is designed in an Italian villa style and has an L-plan layout, with the entrance on the east front, a verandah facing the garden on the south, and a service wing to the west.

The east front is two storeys plus an attic, with a layout of 2:3 bays divided by a pilaster strip. It has semi-circular headed sash dormer windows in square surrounds, with one on the left and three on the right. On the first floor, there are two similar sash windows on the left, resting on a string course, and on the right, three square-headed 12-pane sash windows with keystones located below the string course. The ground floor features two semi-circular headed sash windows flanking a central doorcase made of Ham stone, which has pilasters, a dentil moulded cornice, a fanlight, and double doors with arched head panelling.

The garden front includes two paired semi-circular headed sash windows with a continuous entablature and a string course above a five-bay decorative cast iron verandah. This verandah fronts a pair of French windows with marginal glazing bars, which are flanked by blind semi-circular headed niches. Gwyon House is described as a cosmopolitan venture in the brick vernacular of North Curry, built for a local estate agent. It is illustrated in "Escott, Somerset: Historical, Descriptive," published in 1908.
