Description

Daubeney House is a country house, formerly a rectory, built in the 18th century and rebuilt in 1824 by H.E. Goodbridge for the Rev. Charles Daubney, Archdeacon of Salisbury. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and features a slate roof, a moulded cornice, and a parapet with a moulded coping. There are low chamfered ashlar stacks on each side and an additional ashlar stack at the rear, all in a Gothick style.

The house has three storeys and three bays, with sash windows that include glazing bars, which intersect in the upper panels. Each window has a stopped label above it, and there is a moulded string at the first-floor level and around the plinth. An elaborate flat-roofed projecting porch matches the overall style of the house, featuring corner buttresses with weathered gables. The porch has a four-centred arch door opening framed by an intricately moulded stone surround, with a rubbed door that has some glazing at the top. Above the door is a shield displaying the Daubney arms. To the right side of the house, there is a small conservatory that also conforms to the architectural style.

Inside, the house has a plain interior with many original features, including a dog-leg staircase with plain balusters and turned newel posts, as well as a moulded handrail. The left ground floor room has a fluted marble fireplace, while the right ground floor room features a polished slate fireplace from the late 19th century.
