Description

Goldsborough House is a detached farmhouse located in South Cadbury, dating from the 17th century and later. It is constructed from local lias stone that is cut and squared, with Ham stone dressings, and has a plain clay tile roof featuring a coped north gable and a hipped southeast angle, along with brick chimney stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan and is two storeys high with an attic, displaying a five-bay roadside elevation.

On the ground floor, there are ovolo-moulded mullioned windows with square labels and three-light casements in bays one to four, where the windows in bays one and two are also ovolo-moulded. All windows contain rectangular leaded panes and iron-fronted opening lights, with exposed timber lintels above the upper windows. In the lower bay three, there is an early 20th-century door set beneath a timber lintel. A lead stackhead is positioned to the left of bay one. There is a two-storey projection at bay five, which mainly dates from the 20th century and includes a garage with dormer windows.

The south elevation consists of four bays, with bay one featuring a solar-type window that has wave-moulded mullions and transoms, three lights wide, and a hipped-roof dormer window above it. Bay two contains a three-light hollow chamfered mullioned window set in a wave-mould recess with a square label, positioned above and below a 20th-century door framed by an 18th-century architrave. The upper bay three has a single-light ovolo-mould window, which is blank below, while bay four features ovolo-mould windows, with a one-light above and a four-light below. The four-light window on the east elevation also has a central king mullion. There is a 19th-century extension on the west side. The interior has not been seen.
