Description

Dursley House, together with No 5 Cherry Gardens, is a mid-18th century house with later additions. It is two storeys high, constructed of red brick over a stone ground floor on the north side. The roof is hipped, covered with double Roman tile, and features a central brick chimney stack. The first floor has four glazing bar sash windows with stone lintels and sills. The ground floor has two late-glazed sashes with slab surrounds. A central, later gabled porch projects from the front. A small attic dormer is situated to the right of centre, with three-light attic gable end windows to the east and west.

A possible older, two-storey extension exists at the rear, distinguished by a moulded stone eaves cornice with returned and stepped detailing below the coped gable. This extension has two-light windows on the right and a four-light stone mullion window with modern casements to the left. A lean-to is attached to the west side, featuring a "flying" chimney stack on the southwest corner of the main house.

A moulded doorcase is located to the right of centre, with a modern door. The house was formerly the home of James Bodman, a clothier and author of "History of Trowbridge" (1814).
