Description

Livemore House is a house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations from the late 17th century and additional changes made in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It features a timber-framed structure with plaster and plain tile roofs. The house has a large red brick ridge stack, with the upper courses rebuilt, and an external gable end stack on the right side that has offsets and two rebuilt diagonal shafts.

The building is two storeys high with attics, and includes an early 18th-century single-storey range at the rear, a possibly rebuilt stair turret, and an outshut. It has a three-unit plan with the main entrance located in a lobby entry position, featuring a 20th-century gabled porch with shaped barge boards and a six-panelled door. To the right, there are two 20th-century canted bay windows, and to the left, a transomed window with similar casements. The first floor has three three-light casement windows and three gabled dormer windows with single lights that have replaced the original three-light casements. The house has a plastered plinth.

Inside, the attic floor was inserted in the late 17th century and partly obscures a wall painting on the west face of the plastered stack, which features a design of leaf forms and stylistic flowers in grey and black, along with some traces of foliage design on the first-floor fireplace. The fireplaces have brick jambs, and reused timber is exposed in the floor frames. The original partition between the eastern rooms has been removed, and there is a painted boarded door. Livemore House was built on the site that served as the vicarage from 1280 to 1473 and was used as the Unionist Club in 1913.
