Description
Desborough House is a house likely dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, located on Church Street in Easton on the Hill. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone and has a Collyweston slate roof. Originally planned as a two-unit dwelling, the house has two storeys with an attic. The front facade features a two-window arrangement on the ground floor, with casement windows under wooden lintels, incorporating glazing bars. The upper floor has a three-light ovolo-moulded stone mullion window on the right and a two-light stone mullion window on the left, the mullions being chamfered. Both mullion windows contain leaded-lights with some crown glass and have hood moulds. A central, 19th-century part-glazed door is set under a wooden lintel. The roof is punctuated by a pair of gabled dormers with casement windows. There are ashlar stacks on the right and a stone stack on the left. A Lincolnshire dormer is visible at the rear, along with a 20th-century flat-roofed extension. The interior was noted to contain an 18th-century corner cupboard in the hall and likely retains remnants of open fireplaces.
