Description

Wilton House, now a hotel, is a two-storey building dating from the 19th century, featuring painted stucco and a deep-eaved slate roof supported by closely spaced fretted brackets, along with brick end stacks. The façade has five bays and is adorned with a small dentil cornice and a lattice-work band beneath the eaves. Each end of the building has a channelled full-height pier.

On the first floor, there are three windows located in the second, fourth, and fifth bays. These include a large timber oriel window with plate glass long sashes and a moulded cornice, as well as two plate glass sash windows in moulded architraves with sill brackets. The ground floor features a recessed door with two long arched panels set in a pilastered doorcase that includes a frieze and cornice to the left. There is also a wide tripartite plate-glass sash window in a moulded architrave with a panel below a broad sill, and another plate glass sash window in a similar architrave with a panel below the sill, but this one has a stucco moulded cornice above it. The main entry is broad and recessed, also in a pilastered doorcase with a frieze and cornice, featuring an arched-panelled door with sidelights. Finally, there is another tripartite plate-glass sash window in a moulded architrave with a panel below a broad sill, supported by console brackets with masks that carry a moulded cornice. The broad north gable end has overhanging verges with bargeboards and a large stuccoed plaque that reads 'Wilton House Hotel'.

The rear of the building has not been inspected but is said to be three storeys high, made of painted stone with irregular windows, some of which are sashes with 19th-century coloured glass margins, and features a wing projecting from each end.

The interior has been partly inspected and includes ornate plaster ceilings from the mid to late 19th century, with some retaining their original colouring. There are three ceilings on the ground floor and one on the first floor, decorated with naturalistic flowers and fruit. The entrance hall ceiling is panelled, featuring ornately re-gilded ornamentation on flat ribs and painted complex designs in each panel, along with small wall corbels. The staircase leading to the attic has a thick rail and cast-iron balusters, and the first floor landing window is adorned with etched coloured glass margins.
