Description

St Mary's House is a house located on St Mary's Lane in Ludlow. It features a late 19th-century front and an early 18th-century core. The building is constructed of brick, with a Welsh slate roof on the front pitch and plain tiles on the rear, and has brick end stacks. It has an E-shaped plan and is two stories tall with a two-window range. The windows are 6/6 sashes set in moulded cases beneath grooved stucco lintels, and there are deep plastered eaves.

The central gabled brick porch has a half-glazed panelled door and is flanked by the same 6/6 sashes. The left side of the house is roughcast and features scalloped barge-boards with a spike finial. At the rear, there are two gabled wings made of roughcast brick with plain tiles; the left wing has a brick end stack and a stack located between the wings. The shorter right wing contains early 19th-century two-light casements on both the ground and first floors, and an early 19th-century plank door set under a brick segmental arch, which is recessed in a thick wall.

There is also a small rendered gabled two-storey porch wing with a 20th-century plank door and light, along with two small casements on the right side. The left gable has a small leaded light and a two-light casement on the first floor of the left side, as well as a small brick stack and outhouse to the left.

Inside, there are 19th-century stairs at the front, margin-glazed doors, a plank folding door leading to a passage under the stairs, a coved ceiling, a plastered spine beam, and architraves. The property is enclosed by an attached dwarf brick wall with stone coping and 18th-century cast-iron railings featuring spearheads and urn finials on the posts. The gate has a scrolled arch with a screen above it.
