Dean House (Including West Wing Which Is In Wiltshire)

Dean House, now a private house, started as a late 17th-century rectory and was significantly altered and extended in the early 18th century, with further additions in the late 18th century and the mid-18th century. A stable block, linked to the main house by a range, was also built in the mid-18th century. The house is constructed of brick, with some stone dressings and an old plain tile roof. Originally a 4-bay house, it was widened to 8 bays on the garden front. The house has two storeys and an attic, with low, two-storey, three-bay wings added at each end. The left wing connects to the mid-18th-century stable block at a right angle. A two-storey, half-octagonal wing, projecting centrally on the garden front, was added in the late 18th century.

The entrance front features late 17th-century brick and flint banding and stone quoins to the left three bays of the central section. A C19 single-storey, projecting porch with a half-glazed door and side lights sits in the centre left bay. The remaining bays have 18th-century 12-pane flush-framed sash windows, set within altered openings. On the first floor are similar windows, and a blocked opening in the left bay. The house has a moulded timber cornice and four irregular 2-light hip-roofed dormers. Large, multi-flued chimney stacks, dating back to the 17th century, are located at each end, with the left one being external and the right one originally external before being enclosed by a later addition.

The right wing has a C19 single-storey range with irregular tripartite windows and casements above. The left wing has 12-pane sashes, a central door, and blocked windows. The stable block to the left comprises ten bays, with two concealed behind the left wing. Eight visible bays feature a central pediment with an oculus, and below, two sets of double doors. C20 garage doors are situated on the left side of a lunette window, and to the right, a tall planked door with a fanlight is set within a rubbed brick head, flanked by lunettes. The roof is hipped.

The garden front has eight narrow bays to the central block, with 18th-century 12-pane flush-frame sashes under rubbed arches. The projecting two bays at the centre form the half-octagonal wing, with late 18th-century sashes on the end faces and casements on the second floor, also under rubbed arches. The wings have a variety of casements and sashes. An early 20th-century summerhouse is located on the right wing and the projecting end of the stable block.

The interior dates to the 18th and 19th centuries and is of interest. The house overlooks a small park. A west wing, located in Wiltshire, and a garden wall are also listed separately.
