Description

South Allington House is a farmhouse built around 1830. It features rendered stone walls and a low-pitched hipped roof, with rendered brick axial stacks. The building has a double depth plan, with the main rooms and stair hall located at the front and service rooms and kitchen at the rear.

The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical five-bay front, where the outer bays are slightly recessed. The central bay is pedimented and has paired pilasters, with a round arched window on the first floor. The outer bays also feature pilasters at their corners. The windows are early 20th-century sashes, with two and four panes. A portico at the center has fluted columns at the front and square piers on either side, leading to a part-glazed door from the 20th century. Some original 16-pane hornless sashes remain on the left-hand end wall. The front has a moulded eaves cornice, while the rear elevation features a modillion cornice and a central pedimented projection.

Inside, the front part of the house appears to have been refitted in the early 20th century, based on the joinery, while more original joinery can be found in the rear.
