Doniet House

Doniet House is a house dating from around 1700, which was refronted around 1800. It is constructed of stucco with Ham Hill stone dressings, has a plain tile roof, and features brick stacks at the gable ends. The house has a 2-unit plan and stands two storeys high with a symmetrical three-window range. There are three small 19th-century gabled dormers on the roof, and the first floor has 6/6-pane sash windows with raised stone surrounds. A Tuscan stone porch with an octagonal column leads to a 19th-century eight-panel door, flanked by late 19th-century single-storey stone canted bays that have dentilled cornices and 1/1-pane sashes almost to floor level.

Inside, the original building's only evidence is found in the roof, which features a five-bay collar-truss with tenoned purlins, modified for the 18th-century dormers. The large hall contains a circa 1800 open-well open-string staircase with fretted ends, a wreathed handrail, and a curtail-step. There is a blocked margin-pane overlight behind the 1860 porch. The upstairs features Regency-style architraves with roundels-in-squares corners and reeded cornices. The cornices in the ground-floor rooms, the ceiling rose, and the polychromatic tiles on the hall floor date from around 1860.
