Description
Colinshays House, built around 1815, features significant later 19th century additions. The house is constructed from local stone that has been cut and squared, with dressings made from Doulting stone. The earlier section has a roof covered with Welsh slates and coped gables, while the newer part has a hipped roof with prominent coped gables and stone chimney stacks arranged in diagonal groups. The original 1815 section, located to the northwest, has a rustic character and consists of two storeys with attics and four bays. It features small pane casements in plain openings with keystones at the lower level, and the first and fourth bays have coped gables with attic windows and a battlemented parapet in between. On the north side, there is a gable with a bell in a bell-shaped turret above a pointed arch doorway, flanked by pointed "Y"-traceried sash windows.
The later block to the southeast is trapezoidal in shape and more formal in design, also two storeys with two bays. It includes a plinth string and eaves cornices, and timber mullioned and transomed windows with small panes set into ashlar surrounds with labels, along with gables over the first-floor windows. Between the bays, there is an ashlar porch in Gothic style featuring corner buttresses and a moulded four-centre arch doorway with a pair of 10-panel doors, topped by a plain square plaque. This section appears to have been little altered internally.
To the north, there is a rubble wing wall leading to a tall archway with a shield set into a stepped gable, which provides access to the farmyard, where there are a group of unremarkable 19th century buildings. The house was initiated by John Dampier, who was also the owner of Brewham Manor around 1815.
