Tisbury House With Former Carriage House And Garden Walls

Tisbury House, built around 1800, is a detached house featuring limestone ashlar and a Welsh slate hipped roof with gable end brick stacks. The building is two stories high with a symmetrical front that has three windows. The central entrance consists of a four-panelled door topped with a fanlight, set within a porch supported by unfluted Ionic columns. On either side of the door are 12-pane sash windows. The first floor has three 12-pane sashes above a plat band, and there is a moulded stone cornice above a plain blocking course, with chamfered rusticated quoins.

On the left side of the house, there is a 30-pane sash window, a top-hung casement, and another 12-pane sash on the first floor. A brick porch with a planked door is located to the left, and the former carriage house and stable to the left features a blocked elliptically arched opening and casements. The right side has 12-pane sashes and a late 19th-century extension with 4-pane sashes. The rear of the house includes half-glazed doors leading to a 20th-century conservatory, as well as 2-light casements and 4-pane sashes on both the ground and first floors.

Inside, the house boasts an impressive staircase with two turned balusters per tread, a continuous moulded handrail, and carved tread-ends. There are six-panelled doors set in moulded architraves, and a fireplace with an eared surround in the room to the right of the entrance. The plaster ceiling cornices feature acanthus leaf decoration. The property includes walled gardens at the rear, with walls made of dressed limestone or brick topped with pantiled capping. At the front, there are dwarf stone walls with cast iron gates mounted on square piers. The house was occupied by several generations of doctors during the 19th and 20th centuries.
