Canonbury House

Canonbury House is a detached villa built around 1870. It features stretcher bond yellow brick with terracotta dressings and has a hipped Welsh slate roof, along with yellow brick stacks topped with terracotta cappings. The building is designed in an Italianate style and has an L-plan layout.

The entrance includes a five-panelled door with a semi-circular fanlight set in a pilastered case with terracotta capitals. To the right of the door is a segmental-headed plate glass sash window, flanked by rusticated pilasters with terracotta capitals and a foliated frieze. On the first floor, there are two round-arched sash windows above the door, and a round-arched plate-glass sash window to the right, both featuring guilloche ornamentation on their architraves. To the left, there is a slightly projecting bay with a segmental sash window on the ground floor and a round-arched sash window on the first floor, matching the earlier details.

The house has deep eaves supported by paired cast-iron brackets and a segmental-headed dormer in the attic with an oculus to the left. The right side of the house features a two-storey canted bay with segmental-headed sashes on the ground floor and round-headed sashes on the first floor, adorned with terracotta decoration, and a 20th-century casement window to the left. The left side includes tripartite and plate glass sashes, a four-panelled door to the left, and an attached 20th-century garage with a hipped roof.

At the rear, there are 20th-century casements and a conservatory, along with a round-headed sash window on the first floor. A two-storey service wing to the right has a four-pane sash window and a three-light casement. The interior retains original features such as a staircase with two turned balusters per tread and shaped tread-ends, a stained glass top-light above, four-panelled doors in moulded architraves, marble fireplaces, and plaster ceiling cornices. Canonbury House is noted as a good example of a villa in Tisbury, particularly following the opening of the railway to Tisbury in 1859.
