Description
Gonerby House is a building located on Gonerby Road, originally serving as a hostel for Stoke Rochford Training College. The garden front features Jacobean architecture, complemented by Victorian wings and a Georgian stable block. The Jacobean section is constructed of brick and stands two stories tall with seven windows. It includes a stone band, an eaves cornice, and a balustrade, along with a stone band beneath the first-floor windows. The window arrangement is three-ones-three, with flush-framed windows that do not have original glazing bars. The ground floor windows feature a brick flat arch and are grouped in threes on each side. A stone plinth is present, and the center of the facade breaks forward, with the first-floor window flanked by flush-framed brick recesses. There is a modern French window with a broken pediment on the ground floor. The Victorian wings on either side have slate hipped roofs, with the right wing featuring a rectangular bow that extends through two stories and has a string course between.
The interior was completely remodeled in 1937 but retains some original features, including doorways and the original cellars. A wooden staircase with iron gates, likely from the 18th century, was salvaged from a demolished house. In the same room, there is a fire basket with a decorated iron back dated 1724, although it is likely from a different house.
