Description
This is an 18th-century house located on Corsham High Street. It is constructed of roughcast rubble stone with ashlar dressings and a stone-tiled roof, featuring a stack at the south end and another along the ridge at the north end. The front of the building is double-fronted with an added coach entry to the left, all topped by a moulded ashlar cornice and parapet. The main house range has two pairs of sash windows on the first floor, set in plain surrounds. A string course runs above the ground floor, interrupted by two projecting timber square bay windows. A central 6-panel door is set within a moulded architrave and sheltered by a hood on brackets. The coach entry has boarded doors.
At the rear, there are two wings. A short north-east wing has sash windows. The east end of this wing has a 24-pane sash window above two 12-pane sashes, with a dripstone above. A longer south-east wing has recessed ovolo-moulded mullion windows, which appear to be 20th century, with the exception of a single-window range visible on the south side to the west of the ridge stack. This original section features an upper three-light ovolo-moulded window with a leaded fixed light, and a lower three-light flush cyma-moulded window with a hoodmould. Adjoining this original section is another upper three-light ovolo-moulded window.
