Walcot is a detached five-bay, two-storey Georgian house built c 1780 with gable fronted entrance bay with wings to south, integral carriage arch, rear return and single storey extension all set in it’s own grounds. The property sits on 1.2 acres and comprises the main house ’Walcot’ (5,000ft2), the Guest Cottage (1,400ft2 - former stables/coachhouse) 2 No. two bedroom semi detached houses (@ 1,150ft2 each) and a gate lodge in ruin. Features, such as the two-over-two timber sash windows, though not original, are in keeping with the character of t he house and probably represent it’s nineteenth-century remodelling. The simple facade is broken by the projecting entrance bary with it’s decorative bargeboards, finial and carved mask. The skilfully crafted railings, gates and piers to the front complete the setting for the house.
