SHERBORNE HOUND STREET ST 6316 1/344 No 9 (Fernside)

GV II

Cottage. Circa late C17 or early C18 remodelling and extension of an earlier range remodelled again in C19. Stone rubble, rendered at front. Plain tile roof with gabled ends. Gable end stacks with tall brick shafts. Plan: 2-room plan front range formerly with central entrance passage, is now one large room with a stack at the right hand end. The very thick wall at the back of the left hand end probably indicates that the left hand room was originally heated from a lateral stack. At the rear a short wide wing with a gable end stack was possibly originally a parallel rear range. Exterior: 2 storeys. Nearly symmetrical 2 window front. First floor 2 late C19 2-light casements with glazing bars. On ground floor 2 late C19 sashes with vertical glazing bars only and doorway to right of centre with C20 door. At rear a wide gable-ended wing to right with a gable end stack and C19 and C20 casement windows. Interior: The partitions between the rooms in the front range have been removed, the right-hand end fireplace is C20 and the putative rear left lateral fireplace is blocked. In the left end wall a china-cupboard niche with a moulded plaster reeded domed head. In the rear wing 2 chamfered ceiling beams. The roof space is inaccessible but feet of straight principal rafters are visible. The internal joinery is largely C19 with C20 alterations.
