GV Wolverton House II*
C18, early C19. A severely-plain classical house of symmetrical form, 2 storeys and cellar (exposed as 3 storeys in the lower service part at the south side): the older central block has wings of the later date. The main (west, formerly entrance) front has 7 windows, with set-back, slightly lower, wings of 1.1 windows. Hipped slate roof, masked by a balustraded parapet. The brick structure is faced with thin slabs of Bath stone, finely wrought to appear jointless; cornice, cills, plinth, a 2-storeyed blind arch to the inner face of each wing. Sashes in reveals. Porch of Portland stone in the Ionic Order, with coupled columns in front of coupled pilasters, an arched doorway with a decorative fanlight, and double doors. Projecting forward at each side is a curved flanking wall, with a niche and pedestal, turning parallel to the front and ending in a pillar, surmounted by a lead urn. The east (now entrance) elevation has 5 windows, the wings (of 2 and 3 bays but of equal extent) forming a U-shape; with similar details there is a plainer porch, and 6-panelled door beneath an arched fanlight. The north elevation (to the wing) has 5 bays, all blank except for the 3 middle French windows, which have arched heads linked by a thin impost band. The lower service yard has a single-storeyed forward extension (ie cellar level) and an entrance on the west side leading to a passageway covered by quadripartite brick vaulting.
