Main windows are segment-headed in raised bead-moulded surrounds with keystones. C19 plate glass sashes. String course and cornice broken forward over keystones. Porch bay has similar windows to first floor front and sides, ground floor side doors in segment- headed surrounds and front door in moulded architrave with broad shell hood on scroll brackets. Inner door has architrave and fielded strips each side, possibly indicating a removed hood and therefore that porch bay is added. Four-window rear with coved eaves cornice, the upper floor complete, the first floor with dripcourse but right window removed, the ground floor with door in moulded surround and dripcourse over 2 windows to right, but one removed. To left, a moulded stone plaque FCP 1729 and then 2 superimposed mullion and transom 2-light stair windows. An early C19 rear wing connects to a 2-storey gabled outbuilding with asbestos sheet roof and coped south gable. East side bead-moulded 2-light upper window and ground floor single light. South end wall has moulded plinth, flush quoins and ashlar gable with 6 tiers of dove-openings. West side has recessed cyma-moulded mullion windows, two 2-lights flanking upper door, 3-light with dripstone below. Interior of house mostly altered in C19, some panelled shutters. Outbuilding to rear has full-width circular opening in first floor at north end, purpose unknown. Splatts was the estate of the Child family from the C16 to 1780. Sir Francis Child (1642- 1720) founded Child's Bank, London. (Wiltshire Notes and Queries 11, 1899; R.J. Cole, A short history 4 Heddinton and district n.d.)
