History
Built c.1800 as the vicarage to the Church of St Wonnow, being a substantial addition to an earlier farmhouse of which part remains as a service wing to the rear; slightly altered, porch added in 1930s.
Exterior
A simple Regency design. Painted stucco, shallow hipped slate roof with oversailing eaves. Rectangular double-depth plan facing W, plus SE service wing (the former house). The 2-storey, 3-window facade has an added rectangular flat-roofed porch in the centre, with a large segmental-headed opening to the front now filled with a multi-paned sashed window (but probably formerly a doorway); two 12-pane sash windows at ground floor, and three 9-pane sashes above. There is a chimney stack offset to the right behind the front ridge of the roof. Attached to the right-hand return wall is a curved, flat-roofed bay window. In the angle with the rear wing is a lean-to conservatory against the front wall of the wing, covering a doorway and a window, and above this is a tripartite sashed window. The S gable of this wing has an extruded former bread-oven (not visible internally), and a gable chimney.
Interior
Straight staircase with stick balusters; fluted architraves to the doorways; dining room to the rear of the right-hand side, of long and low proportions, with 2 coved niches in the front end.
Reason for designation
Included as a simple but attractive Regency house.
