Description
Yaxham House is a former rectory built between 1820 and 1822, designed by Robert Lugar. It is constructed of colourwashed brick and features slate roofs in an Italianate villa style. The building has two storeys and a symmetrical entrance facade with three bays of sash windows that include glazing bars. The outer bays are slightly advanced and have pediments. A large central open porch is supported by two pairs of unfluted Doric columns, which hold up a plain entablature. The entrance includes a two-leaf part-glazed front door. The ground floor windows and front door are topped with flat hoods on scrolled consoles, and the eaves are very wide with shaped and paired brackets. The south facade consists of two bays, with the easternmost bay projecting and canted. The east facade has three bays of sash windows with glazing bars. The lateral ground floor windows were originally tripartite, although the southernmost has been reduced and converted into French windows. The roofs are hipped, and there is a service wing to the north.
