Description
Horsington House Hotel is a house that has been converted into a hotel. It dates from the 19th century and is built on the site of a 16th-century manor house. The building is constructed from Doulting stone ashlar and features a hipped Welsh slate roof behind parapets, along with stone chimney stacks. It stands three storeys tall with a main facade that has five bays. The exterior includes a plinth, cornice, and a plain parapet, with architraved casement windows. The ground floor features stone mullions that divide the French windows into three lights, and there are flat console-bracketed holds for the ground and first-floor windows. A prominent central open stone porch is supported by three Doric columns and pilasters, which hold up a full entablature and a small parapet with an open pediment. There is a low 20th-century extension that is two storeys high and extends northwards, as well as a smaller pillared porch on the south side. The interior has not been seen. The house was owned by the Dodington family from around 1790 until 1922.
