Description

Donisthorpe is a house, formerly detached, that dates from around 1770. It is constructed from local stone that has been cut and squared, with Ham stone dressings. The building features a double Roman clay tile roof behind a parapet, which is flanked by coped gables, and has brick chimney stacks at each end.

The house is two storeys high and has seven bays. The windows are sash windows with 12 panes, set within architraved surrounds. The central upper bay window has a segmental arched head, and there is a continuous label over the ground floor windows. A central open stone portico is supported by Doric columns on short plinths, which carry a moulded flat stone hood. There are simple lead rainwater downpipes and stackheads on either side, along with a plain parapet that features simple moulding. The Victoria County History states that it is "said to have been built in 1770," suggesting it may have undergone remodelling. The interior has not been seen.
