Description

Sherborne House is a detached house built in the 17th century and later modified. It is constructed from local stone coursed rubble, with some Ham stone ashlar dressings, and has a rendered and colourwashed front elevation. The roof is simple and gabled, featuring stone slates on the lower half and plain clay tiles on the upper half, with the east gable being half hipped. The building has an 'L' plan and is two storeys tall with an attic, presenting a four-bay front.

In the first bay, there is a flat-roofed angled casement bay window below, with a blank space above. The second bay features a six-fielded-panel door with glazed toplights, set in a heavy frame beneath an open pediment timber hood supported by dentilled brackets, with a blank area above. The lower bays three and four contain a 20th-century casement window and a composite window with four, twelve, and four panes, respectively. Above these are two three-light plain chamfered mullioned windows with leaded lights, positioned tight to the eaves. The east wall has some 18th-century leaded casements, and there is another two-light mullioned window with a label located low in the north gable wall.

Inside, the hall features two doorways from the 16th or early 17th century. The west room has a chamfered beam with a wave stop, while the east room has plain chamfered beams and cross beams. There is another 17th-century door in the lobby, and the stairs are likely from the same period. On the landing, there is only half of a fine moulded ovolo door frame with an elaborate base stop, along with a reeded plank door. The building was probably originally a farm, later served as an alehouse, and became a glove factory in the early 20th century.
