Description

Wardour House is a rectory that has been converted into a house, built around 1735 with alterations made in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed from coursed dressed rubble with ashlar dressings and features a steeply-pitched hipped slate roof, along with rubble end chimneys and a rear chimney with brick stacks. It has two storeys and an attic with dormers, and is designed with three-course bands at the levels of the storeys. The façade consists of two bays, a central bay that is gabled and projects slightly, and a total of five bays overall.

The windows on the main storeys have wedge lintels with raised dropped keyblocks, ashlar sills, and are all 12-pane sashes. There are two gabled dormers featuring moulded bargeboards and 4-pane sashes, and within the central gable, there is a keyed oculus. The central entrance is marked by a flat timber canopy supported by straight timber brackets, leading to a 6-panelled door, of which the two upper panels are glazed. Additionally, there is a lean-to outshut adjoining the right side elevation and a continuous lean-to outshut at the rear. This house was built to replace the former rectory that was destroyed in the floods of 1735.
