Lattice House Including Area Railings

Lattice House, located on Castleton Road, is a building that likely dates back to the early 18th century or possibly the 17th century, although its detailed features suggest a Gothic Revival style from the 18th to early 19th century. The house has a stone front with three windows, is two storeys tall, and includes a basement and attics. It has a slate roof with a parapet and features three lead-covered dormers with segmental heads. The stone mullioned and transomed windows, including those in the dormers, all have diagonal glazing bars. A projecting porch, supported by clustered shafts and featuring Tudor arches, leads up to the entrance, with a flight of steps that is flanked by railings. The railings, dating from the late 18th to 19th century, have standards at intervals topped with urn finials. Lattice House is part of a group that includes the Church of St Mary Magdalene, churchyard walls, piers and gates, a garden wall and piers to Lattice House, Middle House, and Raleigh Lodge, as well as the gates at the entrance to Sherborne Castle in Sherborne Rural District.
