Listed Building record MDO22342 - 4 Wyke Road, Weymouth

House, formerly two dwellings, built in 1820-40 and having smooth rendered walls and a slate roof. It is a villa in a Greek Revival style, with a four-bay central block, stepped back at each end, and with a lower range to the right. The house is of three-storeys with a basement, but develops to a full four-storeys at the rear as the site slopes steeply away from the road. There is a bold portico, on five Portland stone steps, with paired and fluted Doric columns in antis, and full column responds to the pair of four-panel doors, and a full entablature, to a flat roof. The house, now in institutional use, is the most impressive of a group comprising numbers 4 and 8-14, built as Belsfield Terrace, on the principal road from Melcombe Regis to Wyke regis. <1>
