Sherbourne Park

Sherbourne Park is a fine red brick house dating from around 1700, located on Church Lane in Sherbourne. The building features stone dressings and has a steeply pitched plain tile hipped roof with a heavy moulded stone eaves cornice that projects over the central window. It stands three storeys tall and has five bays. The windows are sash style with glazing bars, set within moulded stone architraves that include keyblocks and small cill brackets. The central windows on the first and second floors are framed by a stone frontispiece, which contains a rusticated stone doorway topped with a small cornice, a large rectangular fanlight with lattice glazing bars, and a heavy fielded-panel door. There are small 19th and 20th-century additions at the rear and side of the house. Inside, there is a notable mid-18th century principal staircase featuring two turned balusters per step, carved tread-ends, and a panelled plaster stairwell. The panelled drawing-room includes an 18th-century chimney piece.
