Description

Walmer House is a two-storey Gothic-style house with an attic, built from rock-faced snecked grey limestone and featuring painted Bath stone dressings. The slate roof has a close eave and is gable-fronted, with a coped gable and finial. The building has painted ashlar flush quoins and first-floor bands at the sill and impost levels, as well as at the base of the gable and the top of the attic window. It stands on a raised plinth.

On the ground floor, there is a recessed pointed door to the left, which has a boarded door beneath a Caernarvon-arched head, topped with an ashlar tympanum that is pierced by a small trefoil. The central feature is an ashlar canted bay with plate-glass sashes, a thin cornice, and a hipped roof. The first floor contains two plate-glass sashes with segmental-pointed heads and stone voussoirs above them. The attic features a pair of narrow plate-glass sashes with Caernarvon-arched heads and a relieving arch above. The left side of the house is rendered and windowless.

The front garden is enclosed by a low brick wall on the left and a stone front wall with spearhead iron railings. There are three gatepiers to the left, made of rock-faced stone with rounded square tops. The main pedestrian entry has a matching iron gate, while a wooden gate to the left leads to a side path.
