Description
Ormonde is a house built in the late 18th century, remodelled around 1830, with an early 20th-century porch and some later alterations. It is constructed from sandstone rubble with Pentewan stone dressings and features a hipped roof covered in concrete tiles, deep eaves, and ridge stacks. The house has a double depth plan, with the entrance on the left side leading to a rear passage. There is a stairway at the rear centre and three main rooms at the front; the central room is likely a dining room, while the end room, which has a canted bay, serves as a drawing room. To the right is a rear service wing designed with a two-room layout for a kitchen and scullery.
The building is two storeys high, with three bays on the left and a canted bay on the right. The ground floor on the left features three large 15-pane sash windows with stone cambered heads, while the first floor has 16-pane sashes with similar heads. The canted bay on the right has three 15-pane sashes at ground level and 16-pane sashes above. The left side includes a single-storey rendered porch with a hipped roof, a front door, and side windows with three and six panes. The rear of the house has two two-light casements on the first floor and a central round-headed stair light with glazing bars and Gothic Y-tracery. The rear wing has a hipped roof, with a 20th-century light and a 12-pane sash window on the inner side. The ground floor features a single light on the left and a 16-pane sash on the right.
Inside, there is a circular open-wall stair with stick balusters and a moulded wreathed handrail. The central front room contains a mid-19th-century marble chimneypiece, with round-headed cupboards on either side, a moulded plaster frieze with leaf designs, and panelled shutters at the windows. The room with the canted bay has a marble chimneypiece with a four-centred arch, added in the 20th century, and an unusual moulded plaster pelmet at the windows in the bay, also featuring panelled shutters. The small front room to the left has shutters at the window, and there is a cellar beneath the stair and the central room.
