Description

ROMSEY EXTM A27
SU 32 SW
2/25 Spursholt House
29.5.57
II

House. C17, mid C19, and late C20. Walls of brickwork in English and Flemish
bonds, some cambered ground-floor openings. Tiled roof of many gables, and two
hipped sections of the later dates; a Tudor stack of three diagonal flues. A
building of medieval origin, with considerable alteration and reconstruction:
a tall north-south block has three wings on the west side, two and old and joined,
with coupled gables, one east wing (added to at the rear C20) linking to a late
C20 tall T-shaped unit, this last replacing a late C18 Gothic structure of
castellated appearance with corner turrets. The irregular form of the building
is mostly two-storeyed (with attic to the old north-south part), with mainly
regular elevations to each section. Casements, some sashes. The entrance is
within an arched porch, in a forward projection. The interior has a few minor
features (e.g. beams, irregular small rooms) indicating its considerable age.
Downgraded because of late C20 alterations.
