Description
Sherborne House, also known as Stay Awhile, is a late 17th-century building that has been restored. It features coursed rubble construction with quoins and dressings, topped with a Cotswold stone roof. The house is two storeys high with an attic and consists of three bays, with the outer bays gabled. It has two and three-light stone mullion windows that include drip moulds. The steeply pitched roof is adorned with three ashlar stacks along the ridge. The front of the house has two windows facing the street, one located in the gable and another in the rear wing. A circa 1890s porch leads to a studded oak door situated in the center of the south front, framed by a Tudor arch. Inside, there is a large fireplace on the ground floor with shelves, and to the left of the fireplace is an iron studded door that originated from Northleach jail. The gates, which date to 1897, are wrought iron in an 18th-century style, consisting of two gates with small panels and an overthrow, flanked by rubble piers, with a pedestrian gate in a similar style located to the right.
