Brimpsfield House

Brimpsfield House is a large country house dating from the 17th century, with significant additions and alterations in the early 19th century and early 20th century. It is constructed of limestone ashlar with a stone slate roof, featuring ashlar chimney shafts with moulded caps, including one paired chimney from the 17th century.

The original 17th-century core is two storeys with an attic. It includes a blocked cross-passage fireplace and two 19th-century wings. The west front of the 17th-century section retains a gable with recessed chamfered mullioned windows featuring hood mouldings. The ground floor windows are three-light, while those in the attic are two-light, with the original iron casements remaining in one window. Fragments of stone chevron decoration, originally from Brimpsfield Castle, are embedded in the wall. The north and south facing walls of the 17th-century house contain three-light windows on the ground and upper floors, with a four-light north-facing ground floor window being an exception.

A four-window south wing features 16-pane sashes with keystone lintels and a timber porch with a chamfered surround to the east-facing doorway. A stone mounting block sits south of the garden wall, which is topped by iron railings. An iron gate provides entry into the garden. A hipped roofed one-storey extension is located at the south end.

The early 19th-century east wing also has 16-pane sashes, set within a north-facing elevation that has been extensively altered with scattered fenestration. 20th-century alterations to the north elevation include an elaborately moulded doorway with a deep shell hood, a canted oriel window above, a gabled three-light mullioned window, and a small upper floor room projecting on stone corbels. A basement level doorway features an early 19th-century timber panelled surround, alongside a 19th-century window with a timber lintel. The gabled eastern end, dating to the 20th century, incorporates a medieval chimney from Brimpsfield Castle as an apex finial, and has three-light mullioned windows to the ground and upper floors, alongside a two-light basement window.

Attached to the south of the east wing are 19th-century stables with complete original fittings and a separate pitched roof.

Inside the 17th-century house, an original ground floor room has a beam with jewelled chamfer stops, mirroring the panelling found at Brimpsfield Park. In the garden, there is a game house and 19th- or early 20th-century dog kennels.
