The Old House (Also Known As the Old Fuel Store) with Attached Outbuilding

The Old House, also known as the Old Fuel Store, is a house with an attached outbuilding located on the south side of Middle Street in Harnham, Salisbury. The house dates from the early 18th century, while the outbuilding was added in the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick and rubblestone, rendered, with a thatched roof that is covered by corrugated iron sheeting. The outbuilding is timber-framed on a brick plinth with weatherboard cladding and a corrugated iron roof.

The house is two storeys high with a loft and consists of three bays, while the outbuilding is one storey with two bays. The house features a plinth and a first-floor band, with a central board door set in a plain stone surround. There are two windows on each side of the door, with the window immediately to the left now blocked, and three windows above, all having recessed bead-moulded stone surrounds and two-light windows, some of which retain stanchions and horizontal leading. The roof is steeply pitched with rendered brick end stacks. The weatherboard addition on the right side of the house has no openings.

At the rear, the house has a plinth and first-floor band, with three windows on each floor. The first-floor windows and the left ground-floor window have small-pane casements. The weatherboard addition features two windows and a door and window on the right return.

Inside, the stairs rise in front of the entrance. There are board doors, and one of the two raised and fielded panels is found in the left room on the ground floor. The window mullions are chamfered, and there are chamfered spine beams on the ground floor with lambs' tongue stops, as well as chamfered cross beams on the first floor. In the loft, the principal rafter roof trusses have high-set collars and apex pieces that support a dog-like ridge piece, with one set of chamfered butt purlins and many log rafters.

The outbuilding features a central truss with posts braced to a tie-beam, and collared queen posts support staggered butt purlins. The principal rafters are wood-pegged to the posts, but most braces are bolted, indicating that some timbers have been reused. The floor is made of brick and stone setts, and there is a brick boiler. At the time of inspection, the outbuilding was in a state of disrepair.
