Weacombe House

Weacombe House is a country house dating from the mid-18th century, with alterations made around 1820. It is constructed with a render finish over ashlar, incorporating Ham stone dressings, and has a hipped slate roof concealed behind a parapet. The building features a modillion cornice with a shallow pediment over the central bay, which projects slightly and is emphasised by quoins. The plan is double pile, with a long service wing to the rear.

The house has two storeys and six bays arranged as a 2:1:2 bay facade. The windows are 12-pane sashes, with the exception of the first-floor centre windows, which are two-tier casements. All windows and the central doorway have Gibbs surrounds. The doorway has a double door, partially glazed, and is sheltered by an early 19th-century flat-roofed Ham stone porch supported by paired Tuscan columns carrying a frieze of triglyphs and metopes, with a blank central panel. There are two bays to the right return and three bays to the left.

The interior retains a good selection of mid- to late-18th century plaster cornices and carved pine chimney pieces. The entrance hall has canted corners and a cantilevered staircase with double balusters and a cut string.

Weacombe House was formerly part of the St. Audries estate until 1835 and may have served as the dower house.
