Description
The Dean and Chapter House is a detached house built in the 17th century and early 18th century, with the front wall rebuilt in the late 18th century. It features English garden wall bond brick, timber-framing, and cob, topped with a thatched roof and gable end brick stacks. The house is two stories high with three windows. The central entrance has a six-panelled door set in a 19th-century porch with a tiled roof. On either side of the door are 24-pane sash windows with segmental heads, and the first floor has three 24-pane sashes. The brickwork is incised with "TL 1785," marking the date of the wall's rebuilding. The right side of the house is rendered and has no windows, while the left side is cob and also has no windows but features a 19th-century lean-to with a pantiled roof. The rear of the house is rendered timber-frame, with one two-light and two three-light casements on the ground floor, and three three-light casements on the first floor. Inside, the house is said to have deeply chamfered beams and a 17th-century roof with reused smoke-blackened timbers. The property was owned by the Salisbury Dean and Chapter in the 18th and 19th centuries and was leased to Oswald Kite in 1728 as a newly built structure.
