Description

House. Dating from the late 18th century, Dymoke House is a double-pile house constructed using older materials, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The house is built of reused dressed stone and brick with blue headers, and has an old plain tile roof. The main 5-bay by 4-bay section was built on three sides using dressed stone salvaged from the demolished Easton Manor House in the 1780s, with the fourth side, originally the rear, constructed of brick. A 19th and 20th century service range is attached to one end.

The present entrance front, facing the church, is brick and is two storeys and an attic, with a cellar. It has a dressed stone plinth and five bays. Basement windows are 2-light casements, located near each end. The left bay features a large 18th-century 16-pane sash window within a stucco architrave, while the right bay has a 19th-century 3-light sash. The centre-right bay contains an original 18th-century 8-panel door, now set within a late 19th-century gabled porch with ground-floor glazing and tile hanging above, and extending to the left to create an open porch over the entrance. A first-floor string course runs along the front. On the first floor, two irregular 19th-century 2-light casements are located on the left side, and a 3-light oriel window is found on the right, with a 19th-century mansard gable above it. On the left side, an original modillioned brick cornice remains.

The garden front, originally the entrance front, is stone and features two 19th-century canted bays - one of Bath stone on the left and one with timber French windows on the right. It has a first-floor string course and five 18th-century 12-pane sash windows. The roof is hipped with boxed eaves and two hipped dormers, each containing 2-light casements. Symmetrical brick stacks are present on both piles.

Inside, the front left room on both ground and first floors has well-carved early 18th-century pine panelling, believed to have originated from the original Easton Manor House, which had previously served as a dower house to Avington House. The panelling is similar to that found at Avington.
