Description
Somerton House is a detached house dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of local lias stone finished in a near ashlar style, with painted stone dressings and a plain clay tile roof laid over a stone slate base course. Stepped coped gables and brick end chimney stacks are also present. The house is two storeys high and arranged with three bays. It features sash windows with eight panes, single to the upper bays and doubled in the centre bay. The lower outer bays have composite sash windows with 4+8+4 panes. All windows are set in plain openings with flat voussoired heads. A Regency-style six-panel door, with a Chippendale-style fanlight, is located in the centre bay, set within a simple stone surround with panelled reveals and a hood. The interior has not been inspected. This building is recognised for its group value.
