Description
Grafton House is a 17th-century house situated on the east side of High Street in Norton St. Philip. It is constructed of coursed, faced Doulting stone with a double Roman clay tile roof, topped by a brick end chimney stack. The house has a two-storey, five-window facade. The entrance is centrally placed under a window, featuring a square-headed doorway with a bolection moulded stone frame. The door itself is a 9-panel framed and studded design, and is protected by an edge-moulded flat stone hood slab supported on shaped brackets. Twelve-pane sash windows are set within bead-moulded, painted stone frames. A weathered string course runs along the first-floor level.
