Description
Detached five-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, now in use as religious retreat centre. Recent porch to front (north) and lean-to addition to west. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls. Camber-headed openings with six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows. Round-headed doorcase with pair of timber glazed doors. Single- and two-storey former outbuildings to south-west, having pitched slate roofs, rendered walls and square-headed openings, now in use as part of retreat centre. Rendered entrance sweep walls and gate piers.
Appraisal
A well-proportioned, classically inspired house which retains much of its historic fabric and charm. Formerly known as Inchydoney House, it was once the centre of a substantial estate. The related outbuildings and entrance sweep add to its setting and context.
