Description
Down House is an early 19th-century building that consists of two houses designed as a single composition. The facade is stuccoed and features a wide cornice with brackets and a slate roof. The building has three storeys and a basement, with a total of eight windows. The windows are sashes with glazing bars, and there are French casements on the ground floor. The central portion of the building has four windows and an iron balcony with a tented hood on the ground floor. The window bays on either side are recessed, and the top storey was likely added above the porches on the ground floor. Each side of the building has a wing with one wide three-light window bay topped with a bracketed pediment.
Down House, along with Nos 1 to 6, forms an important group at the top of the hill and marks the entrance into Lymington. This group is associated with the listed buildings on Stanford Hill and Priestland Place.
