The Sheephouse

The Sheephouse is a house located in Gloucester, mainly dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century, with some later alterations. It may incorporate structures from the 14th or 15th century. The building is made of painted brick and features graded stone slate roofs and brick stacks. It has an end-gabled range in two connected parts with eaves at different heights.

On the north front, there is a short, cross-gabled wing in the center, with a single-storey entrance porch with a lean-to roof on the right side of the wing. A glazed verandah is present on the south side. The house is two storeys high. The north front features dentilled brick cornices at the eaves and central gable. Inside the porch, there is a six-panel door. In the front of the central cross-gabled wing, there are three-light casements on each floor. To the left of the wing, on the ground floor, there are two rectangular bay windows with lean-to roofs and casements, and on the first floor, there are three casements. To the right of the wing, there are three casements on each floor, all in timber frames with glazing bars. The south front facing the garden has a glazed verandah on the left half, supported by decorative wrought-iron standards. The interior has not been inspected but is reputed to contain medieval features.
