8/117 The Rectory including forecourt
- area railings and gates
GV II

Rectory. Early C19. Roughcast, probably granite rubble. Low pitched 2-span slate
hipped roof with lead rolls to the hips. 2 rendered chimney stacks over each side
wall.
Square double-depth plan with 4 principal rooms, 2 on either side of central
entrance hall passage which widens at rear to form a stair well with a rear doorway
to the garden. The kitchen and service rooms are in a large 2-storey leanto
outshut on the right, the full depth of the house.
2 storeys. Symmetrical 3 bays. Large early C19 12-pane sashes. Centre first
floor window is same height but narrower with 8-pane casement. Central Tuscan
porch with columns and pilasters supporting an entablature; round-headed doorway
with moulded panel reveals, semi-circular fanlight with radiating glazing bars and
original moulded 6-panel door, bottom panels flush. Plain corner pilasters. To
right side is the leanto kitchen range; to the left a short flanking wall with
gateway to garden at rear.
Rear elevation: 3-window range, large 12-pane sash windows, centre first floor
narrower 8-pane stair window, and central doorway ground floor right bow window
with sashes, and left a C20 French window.
Including front forecourt over railings; cast iron baluster stanchions with own
finials, drapw moulded finials to shafts set in granite plinth. Similar pedestrian
gate either end with granite monolith gate-piers with pyramid-shaped tops, and the
wide double gates at centre are a C20 alteration made from the original railings.
The forecourt is paved in pitched cobbles in a radial pattern.
Interior: open-well staircase at back of hall with stick balusters, thin column
newel, moulded handrail and an open string with a reeded band. Archway at end of
hall passage to stair well with panelled responds. Left-hand front and rear rooms
each have simple marble chimneypieces with console brackets, and panelled folding
doors between the 2 rooms. The right-hand rooms have been altered and a partition
inserted into front right-hand room.
Internal inspection only brief and first floor not inspected.
The exterior of the house is almost entirely intact. It is set well back from the
road behind a railed forecourt and this feature is an important element in Cross
Street. The internal plan is also interesting having 4 principal rooms with the
service rooms at the side, which allows clear access to the garden from the main
house.
