Description
Sherborne House Cottage, dating from the early 18th century, was originally a stable and coachhouse for Sherborne House and has since been converted into a residential property. The building is constructed of rubble stone with quoins and features a stone slate roof, along with a large stone ridge stack that has a brick flue. The structure has a long, slightly angled range.
On the rear of the west facade, there is a central 2-light stone mullion window, with double doors to the left and triple doors to the right, which were once used for coach or cart entries. Below the eaves, there are three rows of dovecot perches with brick detailing, although an inserted loft door on the right has cut into this feature. The front end of the west facade includes a 2-light stone mullion window on the ground floor and two inserted 20th-century two-light casement windows above.
The narrow gable front facing the street has also been modified with inserted 20th-century windows, including a large 3-light window on the first floor and two 2-light windows on the ground floor. Despite these alterations, the building maintains an interesting frontage towards Sherborne House, which it connects to via a tall stone wall that forms a courtyard between the two structures, accessible through the adjoining gatepiers.
The pair of gatepiers to the west are made of single large stones, approximately 3 meters high, topped with stone ball finials on bases of square sections, and the piers sweep down and out at the rear.
