Building record MDO28401 - Weston's House, Weston's Lane, Poole

Weston’s House, of three storeys and cellars, with front wall in header bond brickwork rendered in stucco, and tiled roofs with three courses of stone slates at the eaves, was built in the mid 18th century. The house faces south east and had a block cornice to the front; the front door way is central and has a moulded architraves and fluted ionic pilasters supporting a pulvinated frieze and pediment; the windows have flat heads. A wing at the back, perhaps added later in the 18th century, in Flemish bond brickwork with glazed headers, has segmental arched window heads with keystones and a block cornice and retains an original 18th century rainwater head. The front range has a central staircase hall; the staircase has timber balusters with moulded caps and bases. Gate piers near the front of the house, of stone with alternate blocks vermiculated and plain, have moulded caps and bases and are surmounted by mutilated heads of eagles? The wrought iron gate with surround and overthrow is contemporary. Derelict in 1970
