Fairstowe

This is a detached house built in the mid-19th century, with a late 19th or early 20th-century porch added. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with slate roofs. The house is arranged in an L-shape, with a two-story porch on the front and a prominent, full-height canted bay window facing the garden.

The building has two stories and a basement, the latter of which is visible as a full lower ground floor on the garden side. The porch has a shouldered pediment above a sash window with a small-paned leadwork design above a pair of panelled doors, leading to a leaded fanlight set within an archivolt and supported by pilasters with composite capitals. These pilasters carry an entablature with an open pediment and a base for a statue. The returns of the porch have plain sash windows, with a mid-band continuing from the original building. To the left, there is a sixteen-pane sash window above a large, 20th-century casement window under a drip mould. A square lantern light is positioned to the left of the porch, hidden behind a parapet. To the right are blind lights at each level. The building features a cornice with a blocking course and a parapet, with rusticated quoins to the right, a detail that is repeated on the garden front. The garden front has a deep canted bay with large, plain sash windows. The lower ground level here includes a sixteen-pane window to the front, a smaller twelve-pane window to the right, and a glazed door to the left. The main level has a large plain sash window at each level, with a small four-pane window in a splayed surround in the lower ground. The lowest level is constructed with squared and coursed work rather than ashlar. Alternating rusticated quoins are found at each end, and there is an ashlar stack in the centre of the hipped roof. A small, added bay, set back to the right, includes a flat balcony/roof. The re-entrant angle between the porch and the garden front has a basement area with a doorway and a flight of steps leading to a landing. The interior has not been inspected.
