College House

College House, originally a rectory, was built in 1835 by John Plowman, Jnr., a surveyor and builder from Oxford. The building features limestone ashlar and coursed squared rubble, topped with a Welsh-slate roof and stone gable stacks. It has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys tall with a four-window front. The façade is adorned with a heavy dentil cornice and a plain parapet. To the extreme right, there is a two-storey canted bay, and to the right of centre, a double-leaf glazed doorway with a segmental-arched head. The window reveals contain 12-pane sashes with timber linings and decorative blind boxes. The main entrance is located on the left return. The sides and rear of the house are simpler, featuring similar sashes and two tripartite sashes under segmental arches. Inside, there is a staircase with a wreathed mahogany handrail and contemporary fireplaces. The principal entrance was originally on the main (garden) front. John Plowman provided a complete package for the construction, which cost £1,553, 15 shillings, and 11 pence.
