Description

Faulston House is a detached house dating from the 17th century, which was rebuilt around 1800. It features a dressed limestone front with some banded flint and stone on the left side. The house has a two-span tiled hipped roof with brick stacks at the front and an axial stack made of 17th-century bricks at the rear. The layout is a parallel range plan.

The south front is two stories high with three windows. A central six-panelled door is set within a reeded architrave, adorned with paterae and a flat wooden hood supported by brackets. On either side of the door are 12-pane sash windows in recessed stone architraves. There are two plat bands on the first floor, which has three 12-pane sashes also in recessed architraves.

To the right, there is a 19th-century dressed stone lean-to extension with a sash window. The left side features a blocked mullioned window and three-light recessed chamfered mullioned casements with dripstones. The rear range includes three 3-light recessed chamfered mullioned casements on both the ground and first floors, along with a straight joint to the center that leads to a 19th-century porch with a six-panelled door and casements to the right.

Inside, the entrance hall contains an open well staircase with stick balusters and a wreathed handrail. The doors throughout the house have 2, 4, or 6 fielded panels in moulded architraves. There are classical fireplace surrounds and one bolection moulded fireplace in the morning room. A thick dressed limestone wall between the kitchen and the rest of the house is likely a former external wall, but the original form of the house is not clearly evident. This house is located on the site of a late medieval house with a moated enclosure, which was mentioned by John Aubrey in his "Natural History of Wiltshire" published in 1847.
