Description

Turle House is a detached house dating from the late 18th century. It is built of local lias stone, squared and cut, with a clay pantile roof between stepped coped gables, and brick end chimney stacks. The house is arranged in an L-shape, with three storeys and two bays. It has sash windows with 12 panes on the ground and first floors, and 6-pane casement windows on the second floor. The windows are set in plain openings with deep, dovetailed stone lintels. A 6-panel door with glazed toplights is located in a plain opening.

A tall wall, approximately 8 metres long, extends from the north side of the house and links it to an outbuilding, likely a former coach house. This outbuilding has a central arched doorway.

The interior has not been inspected. Approximately 1.5 metres from the house, a low, rendered plinth wall supports wrought iron railings with collar and leaf spear finials, cast urn finials to braced standards, and matching gates.

The house has been known as Turle House since at least the early 20th century, named after J. Turle, who was born in Somerton and later became an organist at Westminster, and a well-known 19th-century composer, particularly of church chants. His direct connection to the house is currently unconfirmed.
