Magdalen House

Magdalen House is a mid-18th century leprosy hospital that has been converted into a house, with some alterations made in the 19th century. The building is constructed from limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a double Roman tile roof.

The structure has a near-symmetrical single-depth plan with gabled ends. There is an extra bay set back to the right, and a small lower-level wing to the left due to the slope of the site. The building is three storeys high and has four windows, primarily featuring twelve-pane sash windows. The second floor includes two wide-spaced sashes and a small central light, while the floor below has four sashes, one of which is blocked and painted over, along with a small central four-pane window. The ground floor has three sashes, the first of which is blocked, and a part-glazed door set in a broad surround beneath a closed segmental moulded pediment hood. The windows on the ground and first floors have straight drips.

The gables are coped, with a cross-saddle on the left and a stack on the right. The lower bay on the right features a large twelve-pane window spanning two floors, each with a straight drip, and a coped gable with a stack. The site slopes down to the left, where a small staircase descends from the terrace. The return end of the building has a two-light casement at two levels, with a sixteen-pane sash at the middle level, above a low two-storey wing that includes a garage door. The main gable shows signs of an earlier adjoining property at a lower level than the main ridge. The rear wall, constructed of rubble, faces the churchyard of the Chapel of The Magdalen and features a central twelve-pane staircase window and an eaves stack to the right.

The interior has not been inspected.
