Description
St Keyna House is an attached house dating from the early 18th century, with early and late 19th-century additions and alterations. The building features a rendered exterior with ashlar copings and slate roofs, showcasing a Mid Georgian style with early 19th-century Gothick window designs.
The house has a double-depth plan and is set at right angles to the road. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has a symmetrical north front that includes a central two-bay section topped with a pediment supported by brackets, featuring a Diocletian window in the tympanum. The windows are tripartite 12-pane sashes with pointed-arched Gothick heads, all of which were replaced in the late 20th century. There is a late 19th-century projecting single-storey central porch with a pedimented gable above, adorned with an armorial cartouche. On either side of the porch are plate-glass sashes set in moulded ashlar surrounds, leading to a two-leaf glazed late 19th-century door. The roof has two dormers with hipped roofs and late 20th-century casements. To the right, there is a low single-storey wing with a single window featuring an early 19th-century-style tripartite sash window, along with a further lower single-storey wing adjacent to the boundary wall. The east front includes a two-storey bow with four windows, all late 20th-century 12-pane sashes, except for the central elliptical-arched late 20th-century two-leaf French windows on the ground floor.
The interior of the building is currently inaccessible. At the time of the survey, the building was undergoing reconstruction. Originally listed for Whitchurch civil parish, it is now within the parish of Keynsham due to boundary changes.
