Plestor House, Grade II listed building in Selborne, England

Plestor House features two architectural wings, with the older section facing the village green and a newer addition completing an L-shaped design.

The oldest section of the house contains fire-blackened roof timbers from the early 14th century, while the second part was constructed in 1783.

The building appears in an illustration within Gilbert White's 1789 publication 'The Natural History and Antiquities of Selborne', documenting local heritage.

The house stands in the center of Selborne village near The Plestor, a historic gathering space derived from Saxon words meaning play space.

Archaeological excavations in the cellar revealed Tudor bricks damaged by fire, suggesting a previous structure's destruction on the same site.
