SHERBORNE ST JOHN VYNE PARK Old Stable Block

26.4.57

I C16, C17, early C19. A two storeyed main block with a south east front, having north of the west end (forming less than a right-angle) a single storeyed wing with a small two storeyed crosswing at its north end (both of the last date). The generally symmetrical form of the main elevation is emphasised by a raised centre with a gable, surmounted by an open bell turret. The west side has three windows and a central doorway, the east has two high windows. Tiled roofs, brick dentil eaves, weather-boarded gabled with a clock face; above this an open wooden arched frame supporting a flat roof. Walling is in red brickwork, English bond, with stone dressings including rusticated flush quoins and flat arches, and a small moulded doorway with a four-centred arch. The east gable has a similar but larger doorway. The later extension (and the west gable of the main block) has brick dentils to the verge, and to a second floor string which rises in the middle as a hood-mould, the openings have rubbed flat arches, and there is a slightly-projecting gabled entrance in the centre. All windows are casements, with diagonal leaded lights.
