Description
The Pheasantry is a house dated 1581, with a second-floor extension added in 1783. It is constructed of Doulting rubble stone, with the second floor made of brick and a plain tile hipped roof, featuring brick chimney stacks. The building has a square one-room plan across three storeys, with a two-storey outshut to the south that forms the entrance at ground floor level, and a bedroom above, topped with a plain tile gable roof. To the east, there is a single-storey outshut with a double Roman clay tile lean-to roof. The second floor features "Y" tracery stone mullion windows, which may have been taken from an earlier church, while other windows have 19th-century cast iron frames with a clenched fist motif and fastener. The interior has limited interest, with one stop-chamfered beam visible in the ground floor ceiling; the first and second floors have not been seen. The building is said to have been used as a meeting house by the Society of Friends.
