Description
Meonstoke House is a large house dating to the late 18th century, with extensions added in the mid-19th century. The main body of the house is constructed of brick in a Flemish bond pattern, featuring rubbed flat arches, recessed panels in the parapet, rusticated quoins to the ground floor, stone bands to the plinth, first and second floors, and stone coping to the parapet. The central window on the first floor has an eared architrave with a triple keystone. The roof is tiled with hipped dormers, while the later wings have a plain roof.
The west elevation is symmetrical, with two storeys and an attic above a basement, and contains five windows. It has sash windows in exposed frames, casements to the dormers and basement. A stone doorcase, featuring a cornice, rusticated pilasters supporting a widened lintel with a triple keystone, leads to a half-glazed door. A flight of ten outward-curving steps with wrought-iron handrails leads to the front door. The wings are set back from the main block.
The east front is similar to the west, but has a rendered parapet, no basement, and a 20th-century classical porch. A south wing extends forward, displaying a mid-19th century vernacular appearance with two storeys and two windows, including a wide tiled porch. A north wing extends along the same front wall without any particular features, and includes a three-storeyed gable dating from around 1900 with wide Arts and Crafts casement windows.
