Description
Bainly House is a house dating from the mid-18th century, situated on the border between Dorset and Somerset. It is constructed from coursed rubble and ashlar, with ashlar dressings and a gable-ended slate roof featuring sprocketted eaves and end stone copings. Brick stacks are positioned at the ends of the house. Distinctive ashlar platbands mark the basement and first-floor levels, and the corners are accentuated with rusticated quoins.
The house is symmetrical in design with three bays. The central bay projects slightly. The windows are 16-pane sashes, set within moulded stone architraves. The upper floor’s central window is a Venetian window. The central doorcase is topped with a broken triangular pediment supported by fluted pilasters, and features a radiating semi-circular fanlight above the door.
The house retains the general form of a 17th-century building while incorporating Palladian detailing.
