Donore

Donore is a detached house built of stone rubble, likely dating from the late 17th century, with a later pebble-dash finish. It is situated at the corner of St Swithin's Road and features a two-storey front with five windows. The windows are wood casements with lead glazing, complete with original stays and catches. The house has a new slate roof and gable ends with stone parapet copings, as well as two hipped dormers. The doorway is adorned with a hood supported by moulded and voluted brackets, leading to a six-panelled door.

Inside, an early 18th-century linen painting depicting a hunting scene was discovered beneath eleven layers of wallpaper, as noted in an analysis at Sherborne Museum.
