February 2004. Field Observation.
House, said to have a timber frame by [1].
At time of relisting in 1991 this was described as 18th century red brick with black glazed pantiles. Two storeys, three bays of sash windows with exposed cases and flat arches; central doorway with pilasters and entablature, rectangular fanlight. 18th century brick coping at rear (S1). However, brief external inspection of façade found that render or stucco had at some date been removed by mechanical means (making dating of bricks impossible due to erosion) and the present windows and door are clearly inserted on the site of earlier large openings. To the rear is a large curtilage forming a walled garden with a coach house at the northwest corner. The garden walls to east and northeast have diagonal skintlings and date from about 1700 (is this the date of the house therefore?) but the coach house is a 19th century insertion and the west garden wall that runs south from it has a plaque. Built by Alfred Muskett 1865.

February 2006. Building Survey.
Well House house was originally built c.1700. The house has a brick façade using Flemish Bond with sash windows and a black pantiled roof. The original windows to the south front were replaced during the 18th century presumably by the sash windows and there is evidence of voussoirs (wedge-shaped stones forming the curved parts of the window arch). The house was remodelled in the later Regency style in 1820 as seen in the current large sash windows to the front and the extensive internal decorations.
