Background
History
Historic England records the house as having a 1712 datestone, with the initials "HW", relating to Henry Waters, High Sheriff of Somerset. The house remained in the family's hands until 1921. The Blanchard family were also associated with nearby St Catherine's Court. Historic England records that the St Catherine's Court estate was leased to John Blanchard in 1591, later bought by the Blanchards, and eventually passed by marriage to the Parry family.
Architecture
Batheaston House is a Queen Anne style house, built of ashlar dressed stone, with a Cotswold stone slate roof. Historic England describes it as having two storeys, a basement and attics, raised quoins, a moulded cornice, a five-window front and glazing-bar sash windows in bolection-moulded architraves. The entrance has a Tuscan doorcase, and the interior includes panelling and moulded plasterwork.
