The Pines

The Pines is a detached house located in Southrop Village, dating from the early to mid-17th century, with alterations made in the mid to late 18th century. The building is constructed of random rubble limestone, featuring ashlar and brick rebuilt chimneys, and has stone and artificial stone slate roofs. It is two stories high and consists of two parallel ranges.

The west front has a two-window layout, with two-light recessed chamfered mullioned casements on the ground floor and 12-pane sash windows with keyed beaded architraves above. At the north end, there are two gables; the right gable has a chimney with a moulded cap and skirt, while the left gable projects forward and includes a lean-to addition on the ground floor. To the right of this gable is a pedimented doorway, which features moulded architraves, a pulvinated frieze, and a contemporary plank door. The east side mirrors the two-window layout of the west, but the ground floor casements are three-light with ovolo moulded mullions.

The interior has not been inspected. The Pines was formerly known as Grey's Court and served as the Keble family house until the mid-18th century. It is now the only remaining part of a much larger house. A dovecote stands to the northwest, and there is a walled garden with an archway to the south.
