Waterloo House and Attached Brick Wall to the Rear

Waterloo House is an early to mid-18th century public house, with later additions. It is constructed of Flemish-bond brick with painted stone coping to the parapet, cornice, rusticated quoins and architraves. A parallel wing to the rear is weatherboarded to the upper floors and has a pantile roof with a brick ridge stack to the rear right wing and a truncated stack to the right return. The building has a double-depth plan and three storeys including a substantial 20th-century attic. The main facade has a six-window range. 20th-century rusticated quoins continue above the cornice, flanking the oversized attic storey, which features 3/3-pane sash windows in moulded architraves. The quoins to the lower floors have returned cornices stepping forward from the main moulding; the first floor has segmental arches to moulded architraves, bracketed cills, and 6/6-pane sash windows. The ground floor has two similar windows to the right. The rest of the ground floor is articulated by six early 19th-century panelled pilasters supporting a moulded cornice. The three bays to the left have tripartite windows with octagonal overlights and three rows of three panes to the centre, likely dating to the early 19th century. The two-paned double doors have a large overlight similar to that in the Town Hall, composed of octagonal and square panes. Between paired pilasters to the right of the door is a single column of panes. A Flemish-bond brick wall to the right return has been rebuilt below cornice level and has nine tie-bar end crosses; a truncated stack is located to the right of the ridge and also features a tie-bar end. Stepped stone voussoirs to late 18th-century windows in forward frames and 6/6-pane sashes are present on both floors of the right return. A smaller, similar window is located to the first floor right. A further wing to the rear has weatherboarded upper floors with a half-hipped roof and a 6/6-pane sash window below the hip. The rear facade, rebuilt below the eaves, has an early 18th-century wooden modillion cornice and four irregularly-spaced 6/6-pane sash windows. The interior features an oval stair-hall, lit by a window in the left return, containing an early 19th-century open-well, open-string staircase with fretted ends, stick balusters, and a swept handrail. A few early 19th-century features, such as six-panel doors and an internal fanlight, remain. A Flemish-bond brick wall, approximately 3 metres high and 30 metres long, attached to the rear of the right return, has five deep semicircular-arched recesses on the garden side.
