Penally House

Penally House is a house built in 1836 for William Sloggatt, and later partly converted into flats. It is constructed from rendered and stuccoed stone rubble, with a rag slate roof featuring hipped ends, deep overhanging eaves, and panelled boxed gutters. The house has a double-depth plan, with a central entrance hall leading to two reception rooms at the front; a possible kitchen is located to the rear of the room on the left, and a staircase is situated in a projection to the rear of the right-hand room, with a small service room beyond. The building has two storeys and a basement at the front. The symmetrical front facade has three windows, with rusticated quoins. A central Ionic porch features 20th-century double doors, set in front of an original 19th-century panelled door. The original 19th-century 12-pane hornless sash windows are largely intact. The left-hand side elevation has some replacement windows. The rear elevation retains 19th-century sashes. A round-headed stair window with intersecting glazing bars illuminates the stair projection on the right-hand side. The interior is largely complete, though not fully inspected. The house was built for a Boscastle merchant, William Sloggatt.
