Garsington House

Garsington House is a late 17th and 18th century farmhouse, now a house. It is constructed of coursed rubble with squared quoins, and has some ashlar dressings, with a plain-tile roof and brick stacks. Originally a two-unit plan with a cross-passage, it now has a four-window front. The two bays to the left are of earlier date, with altered openings under renewed lintels, and blocked doors. The 18th century section is set back and features a 20th century door and a three-light casement to the right, with two- and three-light casements above, all set within flat ashlar arches. The roof has a hipped gable to the left, a gable stack to the right, and a central ridge stack. Inside, there are intersecting chamfered spine beams with run-out stops and a large open fireplace. The earlier roof is characterised by two heavy queen-post trusses. The building was formerly the Exeter College farm.
