Longbridge Deverill House

Longbridge Deverill House is a rectory that has been converted into an elderly people's residence. It was built in the 18th century and rebuilt around 1840. The house is constructed of Flemish bond brick with ashlar dressings and features a fishscale tiled roof and brick stacks. It has an 'L'-shaped plan, with service areas located to the sides and rear. The design is in the style of the 17th century.

The building is two stories tall with an attic and has a two-window front. The central entrance features a half-glazed door set back in an ashlar porch, which has double studded doors, a gabled parapet, and a plaque displaying the Thynne family motto, 'J'ai bonne cause'. On either side of the entrance are three-light mullioned and transomed casements. The first floor has two 2-light ovolo-mullioned casements, and there are gabled attic dormers with 1-light ovolo-moulded casements. The left gable has an external stack with decorative diaper work, along with a group of three diagonally set stacks that have toothed cappings.

Attached to the right of the front is a single-storey service wing that features chamfered mullioned casements and three attic gables with coped verges. The left return of the building has two large 2-storey bays with 4-light mullioned and transomed casements on the ground floor, and 2 and 3-light mullioned casements on the first floor and attic gable, along with a gabled dormer on the right. The rear of the house has a large external stack, with some visible 18th-century brickwork, and a rear service wing that includes 20th-century casements and sashes with flat arches. There is also a 20th-century wing and a conservatory-style covered corridor with arched lights. The right return of the rear range is partly constructed of rubble stone and features a casement with three arched lights and a flush 12-pane sash, likely from the 18th century.

Inside, the house has a large entrance hall with a staircase that features two turned balusters per tread and a ramped and wreathed handrail. The doors have two arched panels and panelled reveals. The ground floor rooms are adorned with Adam-style fireplaces, segmental-arched openings, alcoves, and ribbed plaster ceilings. The house was provided by the Thynne family of Longleat House, which was previously part of this parish.
