Description

Bisley House is a house that probably dates from the 17th century. It has a whitewashed and rendered exterior with a thatched roof that has a plain ridge and gabled ends, featuring a left end stack and a rear lateral stack. The building likely has a single depth plan that is two rooms wide.

The house is two storeys tall and has an attractive front with three windows. There is a 20th-century front door and a thatched porch canopy located to the left of the center. The windows are likely 18th-century casements with square leaded panes: there is a three-light window to the left of the porch and a four-light window to the right; on the first floor, there is a three-light window to the left, with the center and right also having three-light windows, but they are smaller. The interior has not been inspected, but it is likely to contain features of interest.
